Carberry, Manitoba can expect a mix of sunny and unsettled weather during the first full week of August, with a chance of showers midweek before conditions clear up heading into the weekend.
According to Environment Canada, Wednesday, August 5 brings a 60 percent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms, with a high of 24 C and a humidex of 26. The wind will be from the west at 30 km/h, and the UV index is forecast at 6, or high. Showers are expected to end by evening, giving way to clearing skies.
Thursday is shaping up to be the warmest day of the stretch, with sunny skies and a high of 29 C. The humidex will make it feel more like 31, so residents heading outside should plan for the heat. There is a 60 percent chance of showers late in the afternoon, along with a risk of a thunderstorm. Overnight lows through the period will dip to around 10 to 12 C.
Friday and Saturday look bright, with more sunshine on tap. Sunday is forecast to be sunny with cloudy periods overnight. This pattern lines up with typical early August weather in southwestern Manitoba, where average daytime highs normally sit between 24 and 26 C. No weather watches or warnings are in effect for the area.
The forecast is good news for anyone in the agricultural community of about 1,800 making outdoor plans mid-to-late week. Still, residents should keep an eye on the sky Wednesday afternoon, especially if they will be out in the open. While southern Manitoba has seen severe weather in recent weeks, including tornadoes in western parts of the province, nothing of that nature is expected in Carberry this week.
