Churchill, Manitoba is in for an unsettled and cooler week, with temperatures expected to stay below the seasonal normal through August 10, 2026. Environment Canada forecasts daily highs will range from 11–16°C, while the normal high for this time of year sits around 18°C.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, conditions at Churchill Airport were misty, with visibility reduced to just three kilometres. The temperature sat at 11.6°C, humidity reached 100 per cent, and north winds were blowing at 16 km/h. No weather alerts are in effect for the area, but the forecast calls for a mix of clouds and sun along with intermittent showers throughout the week. The highest chance of rain, 60 per cent, is expected on Monday.

August is historically Churchill’s wettest month, with about 60 millimetres of rainfall, according to climate data. The community’s location on the western shore of Hudson Bay often leads to foggy conditions in the summer, as warm air passes over the cooler bay waters.

Churchill has a subarctic climate, with short, cool summers. Even in a normal August, the average daily temperature is around 15°C. The below‐normal temperatures this week mean outdoor plans may be less comfortable, and residents should be prepared for damp, cool weather that’s more suited to indoor activities.
