Edmonton will see mixed sun and cloud this afternoon, with the live forecast above showing a high near 20°C and a low tonight around 9°C — a pleasant spring day along the North Saskatchewan River valley.
How will the wind and precipitation behave?
Breezes from the northwest at 15 km/h will keep the air fresh. No rain is expected through most of the day, though a slight chance of a shower moves in after 8 p.m. as a weak system slides across the northern prairies.
What should you plan for the morning and evening?
Morning temperatures sit around 11°C with light winds — ideal for a bike commute or a walk through the river valley. By evening, cloud cover thickens and the chance of a shower rises; keep a light jacket and an umbrella if you’re heading out after dinner.
Will today’s weather trigger any warnings?
No watches or warnings are currently posted for Edmonton or region. Conditions remain stable through the day, with the only change being the late-evening rain chance.
How does this compare to the seasonal average?
Today’s high sits about 2°C above the long-term average for early May in Edmonton. Overnight lows are near normal, making for a slightly warmer afternoon than typical.
What is the UV index expected to be?
The UV index will reach 5 this afternoon, which is moderate. If you’re outside between noon and 3 p.m., consider wearing sunscreen and a hat — especially near the river or at parks like Hawrelak.
