After a brief reprieve from the scorching summer heat, Winnipeg residents can expect a return to warmer temperatures in the coming days. According to CTV News meteorologist Colleen Bready, the city will experience a surge in heat as we head into the weekend.
Bready predicts that the mercury will rise to the high 20s on Friday, with temperatures reaching the low 30s on Saturday and Sunday. This is a significant increase from the cooler temperatures we have been experiencing this week.
The sudden change in weather can be attributed to a high-pressure system moving into the region, bringing with it clear skies and plenty of sunshine. Bready advises residents to take precautions and stay hydrated during this heatwave, especially those who are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
While the heat may be welcomed by some, it also brings the risk of thunderstorms and potential severe weather. Bready warns that there is a chance of isolated thunderstorms on Saturday evening, which could bring heavy rain and strong winds.
As always, it is important to stay informed and prepared for any potential weather hazards. Bready encourages residents to stay tuned to CTV News for the latest updates and to follow any safety precautions issued by local authorities.
In addition to the heat, Winnipeg can also expect high humidity levels, making it feel even hotter than the actual temperature. Bready advises residents to limit their time outdoors and seek shade or air-conditioned spaces when possible.
As we head into the weekend, it is clear that summer is not over yet in Winnipeg. So, make sure to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts, but also stay safe and prepared for any potential weather changes.
