As the summer season comes to an end, Calgary residents are starting to feel the chill of fall with gusty winds and cooler temperatures.
According to Environment Canada, a cold front has moved into the city, bringing with it strong winds and a significant drop in temperatures. The gusts are expected to reach up to 60 km/h, making for a blustery day.
The sudden change in weather has caught many off guard, with some scrambling to find their warmer clothing and jackets. Others have taken to social media to express their surprise and disappointment at the end of the warm summer days.
But for some, the cooler weather is a welcome change. “I love the fall season,” says local resident Sarah Thompson. “It’s a nice break from the heat and it’s the perfect weather for cozy sweaters and hot drinks.”
While the winds may be strong, they are not expected to cause any significant damage. However, residents are advised to secure any loose objects and be cautious while driving, as the gusts may make for difficult road conditions.
As for the temperatures, they are expected to remain in the low to mid-teens for the next few days, with a chance of rain on the horizon. Environment Canada also warns of potential frost in some areas, so gardeners are advised to cover their plants to protect them from the cold.
So, as we bid farewell to the warm summer days, it’s time to embrace the changing season and all that it brings. From cozy sweaters to pumpkin spice lattes, fall is officially here in Calgary.
