Carberry, Manitoba is set for a warm and sunny start to the week before unstable weather moves into the region, bringing a risk of thunderstorms and rain through Wednesday. While Monday offers clear skies and a high of 22°C, residents should prepare for changing conditions starting Tuesday afternoon.
According to Environment Canada, Monday will be sunny with southwest winds gusting to 50 km/h and a very high UV index of 8.

The alert, issued through the Manitoba Emergency Management Organization, came from the Hydrologic Forecast Centre of Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure, noting the potential for heavy rainfall.

Conditions are forecast to improve later in the week, with sunny skies returning Friday, a high of 19°C, and a mix of sun and cloud on the weekend with temperatures climbing to 20°C on Saturday and 23°C by Sunday.
This week’s weather follows an active start to June in southern Manitoba. On June 2, at least three tornadoes touched down, including twin tornadoes near Carman and one near Manitou, along with large hail, strong winds, and power outages. While the current forecast does not indicate severe storms for Carberry, residents are reminded to monitor conditions and seek shelter during any thunderstorm activity.
