Residents in Waterloo can look forward to a significant warming trend heading into the upcoming weekend after a damp and blustery start to the week. According to Environment Canada, while the region is currently experiencing cloudy skies and brisk winds, temperatures are expected to climb steadily over the next several days.
As of Wednesday afternoon, conditions at the Region of Waterloo International Airport showed a temperature of 8°C with westerly winds gusting up to 48 km/h. A low-pressure system moving in from the Prairies brought rain to the region earlier this week, and residents may see some spotty showers persist into Thursday morning. There are currently no weather alerts in effect for the area, according to the Environment Canada weather office.
The weather is expected to clear up by Friday, May 15, which will bring sunny skies and a high of 20°C. This shift marks a turn toward warmer weather as the weekend approaches, offering a pleasant change from the seasonal normal high of 19°C.
The warming trend is forecast to continue through the long weekend. Temperatures will climb further, with a high of 29°C expected by Monday, May 18. With clear and sunny conditions arriving just in time for the weekend, local residents will have ideal weather for outdoor plans.
