Colleen Bready’s Forecast: A cool and windy start to the week

Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 23, 2025.

After thunderstorms rolled through Winnipeg on Sunday, conditions in the city and across southern Manitoba are cool and windy on Monday.

Daytime highs across the region will only reach the low to mid-teens Monday afternoon, well below seasonal norms in the mid-20s.

There’s also a varying chance of showers across the south.

Showers are more likely in the southwest, but wildfire-affected areas in the southeast, including Nopiming Provincial Park, could see some much-needed precipitation, too.

Conditions are similar Monday across northwestern Ontario.

Meanwhile, a low over Rainy River in northwestern Ontario will bring rain to much of central and northern Manitoba on Monday.

Anywhere from 5 to 20 mm of rainfall is expected.

There is no real risk of thunderstorms, so the rain will be welcomed in most wildfire-affected areas. However, rain likely won’t reach as far north as Lynn Lake, which is also contending with a nearby wildfire.

Air quality in Manitoba is good Monday, relatively speaking, with the exception of smoke closer to wildfires. Environment and Climate Change Canada has no air quality alerts in effect on Monday.

Ahead Tuesday, temperatures in Winnipeg will return to normal for late June, with a high in the mid-20s under a mix of sun and cloud.
