Canmore, Alberta, is in for a stretch of sunny and warm weather during the week of June 14 to 19, 2026, according to Environment Canada. No weather alerts are currently in effect, and daytime highs are expected to reach into the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, making for ideal conditions to enjoy the outdoors in the Bow Valley.
As of Sunday evening, June 14, temperatures sat at about 21°C, with light southwest winds and low humidity. The clear skies are expected to hold through the week, with overnight lows dipping to between 3°C and 11°C. While June is typically Canmore’s wettest month, averaging 107 mm of rain over 16 days, this week’s forecast looks predominantly dry and sunny.
With up to 16 hours of daylight and a UV index reaching a very high level of 9, residents and visitors are urged to take sun protection seriously. Unprotected skin can burn in as little as 15 minutes under these conditions. Hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are a must for anyone heading outside for an extended period.
Those hitting the trails should be aware of varying conditions. Alberta Parks reports that lower elevation paths are wet and muddy from recent rain, while higher trails still hold significant snow in shaded areas. Spring avalanches remain a hazard at upper elevations, so hikers need to watch for changing freezing levels, solar radiation, and any new precipitation. The regular mountain weather forecast from Avalanche Canada has ended for the season, but weather graphics and data are still available online for trip planning.
Bear activity is high across the Bow Valley, and park officials recommend travelling in groups, making noise, keeping pets on a leash, and carrying bear spray. Several wildlife closures are also lifting: the Pigeon Mountain and West Wind Valley areas reopen on June 15 after protecting critical winter range for elk and bighorn sheep. However, the Grassi Lakes area remains closed due to a rockslide, and the Mt. Allan/Centennial Ridge trail is off-limits for bighorn sheep birthing until June 21. At the Canmore Nordic Centre, recent fireguard work has increased the risk of falling trees on some trails, so extra caution is advised.
