Calgary to see risk of afternoon thunderstorm Monday

Calgary is expected to experience a potential risk of afternoon thunderstorms on Monday, according to weather experts.

The city’s residents should be prepared for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon, as the forecast predicts a mix of sun and clouds with a 30% chance of precipitation.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Calgary and surrounding areas, warning of the potential for thunderstorms and strong winds. The statement also advises people to take necessary precautions and stay updated on weather conditions.

The risk of thunderstorms is due to a low-pressure system moving into the region, which could bring unstable conditions and the potential for severe weather. This system is expected to move out of the area by Tuesday morning.

In the event of a thunderstorm, it is important to seek shelter indoors and avoid open areas, tall objects, and bodies of water. It is also recommended to stay away from electrical equipment and to unplug any non-essential appliances.

Calgarians are advised to stay informed about weather updates and to have an emergency plan in place in case of severe weather. It is also important to have an emergency kit with essential items such as food, water, and first aid supplies.

The city’s emergency management agency, Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA), is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to respond if needed.

Residents are reminded to stay safe and to report any severe weather or damage to property to the appropriate authorities.

As always, it is important to stay informed and prepared for any potential weather risks. Stay tuned to local news and weather updates for the latest information.
