Edmonton's Chilly April: A Test of Patience

0:00Edmonton's kicked off April with some real chill vibes, averaging a high of 6 degrees Celsius over the first two weeks. That's the coolest start since 2022, sitting 2 degrees below the usual mark. Those temps aren't touching the deep freeze of 2020 or 2018 when highs average 0 degrees Celsius with way more snow lingering around. It hits different this year because the past couple April's spoiled us. In March 2024 and 2025, both clocked 12 degree averages in. That same stretch, making these shivers feel extra sharp. We've only seen 3 days crack, 10 degrees or warmer so far. The fewest double digit highs since 2020, which had 0 in the first half. Expect that slow thought to pick up a soon, but for now, bundle up springs testing our patients in the prairies. Canada News today, powered by AI bringing you what matters.
