Calgary weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, reflects its foothills location where Pacific air meets the prairies. Conditions shift quickly here — a sunny morning can turn snowy by afternoon, especially in spring and autumn, and all temperatures are given in Celsius.
What makes Calgary weather so variable?
Calgary sits roughly 80 kilometres east of the Rocky Mountains, a position that funnels changing air masses through the Bow River valley. The result is one of Canada’s most variable urban climates. The city receives about 333 days of sunshine a year, but also endures sudden temperature drops and the famous warm chinook winds that can raise the mercury by 15 degrees or more in a few hours.

The calgary weather radar is especially useful in summer when thunderstorms roll in off the foothills. Compare conditions with Edmonton weather to see how the province’s two big cities differ.
