Breezy season is upon us: This is your Edmonton forecast

EDMONTON — Every spring, I get a number of people asking if it's "windier than ever before" or if it's "always this windy in spring".

In fact, I've already been asked a version of those questions twice in the past few days with more queries likely on the way.

So here it is - Spring in Edmonton is our windy season.

May is the windiest month (on average) with a 13.8 km/h average wind speed.

April is second with an average speed of 13.5 km/h.

June clocks in at 13.2 km/h.

The nine other months all have average wind speeds in the 10-12 km/h range.

So... it should come as no real surprise that it'll be breezy again today and Thursday.

(And probably into the weekend as well, especially Sunday).

Temperatures will continue to hit highs in the 15-20 degree range through the next 5 to 10 days.

Morning lows in the Edmonton area should be in the 2 to 6 degree range.

Precipitation Outlook:

Scattered showers possible in areas from High Level southeast to Fort McMurray.

A couple pop-up thundershowers could develop later today SW of Red Deer.
