Beausejour, Manitoba, is preparing for a major shift in weather as temperatures are expected to climb above freezing by mid-next week. According to Environment Canada, the community will move from extreme cold to daytime highs of 5°C by Thursday, March 19, 2026.
Before the warmer air arrives, residents will have to deal with a cold start to the weekend. The wind chill is forecasted to drop as low as -26°C on the morning of Saturday, March 14, 2026.
Daytime highs that currently range between -8°C and -12°C will begin a steady climb. The forecast shows the temperature reaching 3°C on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, followed by the even warmer high on Thursday.
This warming trend marks the beginning of the local spring thaw. The Province of Manitoba and the Manitoba Hydrologic Forecast Centre have reported that the risk of spring flooding is currently low-to-moderate for most areas.
While the flood risk is low for now, the rapid change in temperature may cause slippery road conditions and increased water runoff. Local residents are encouraged to stay aware of these changes as the winter season transitions into spring.
