We still haven’t had a warmer-than-average daytime high in June in Edmonton. And... we probably won’t get one this week.

• Hourly and 7-day forecast on our CTVNewsEdmonton.ca weather hub

The first week of June this year had an average high of just 16 C. That’s well below the long-term average of 21 C for June 1-7.

The last time the city started June with an avg high of 16 C was back in 2009.

And...actually,if you REALLY want to get technical and deal in tenths of a degree, we have to go back to the late 1990s for the last time we were below 16.0 C for the average high.

Average highs June 1-7:

• 15.5 C - 2026
• 16.2 C - 2009
• 15.9 C - 1998

Looking ahead, we’ll be in the 17 to 22 C range for highs through Saturday.

There’s a chance we get to the 23 to 26 C range Sunday-Tuesday.

Soak up some sun this morning. Clouds will increase from the south throughout the day and there’s a slight chance of some scattered showers in the Edmonton region late this afternoon and/or tonight.

Wednesday doesn’t look like a full day of solid, steady rain. But... we’ll be mostly cloudy throughout the day with occasional scattered showers in the area.

Thursday’s dry for most of the day, until a slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm in the evening.

Friday’s still uncertain as the modelling has been very inconsistent. But, I think there’s at least a chance of some showers or periods of steadier rain in the region.
