Residents of Port Colborne can expect a wet and windy week as Environment Canada forecasts rain and gusty conditions to impact the area through May 11, 2026. Showers are expected to begin this afternoon, accompanied by southwest winds gusting up to 60 km/h.

The rain is expected to persist through Tuesday night, with an accumulation of 10 to 15 mm, and continue into Wednesday before clearing. While temperatures will remain below seasonal norms for the rest of the week—ranging from a high of 9°C on Thursday to 15°C by Monday—conditions are expected to improve by Thursday with a return of sun and clouds. Residents should keep an eye on the forecast throughout the weekend, as there remains a 60 percent chance of showers on Friday.

Although there are currently no weather alerts in effect, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority is monitoring local water levels. The authority notes that with additional rain in the forecast, residents should remain aware of potential flood risks in low-lying areas.
