Residents in Cambridge can expect a warm but foggy start to the day on April 17, 2026, as temperatures climb to an unseasonably high of 20°C. While the morning began with cloudy skies and fog, Environment Canada reports that conditions will clear by the early afternoon.
Today’s high is roughly 8 degrees warmer than the historical average of 12°C for this time in April. Despite the pleasant afternoon, the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) continues to monitor river conditions across the watershed following significant rainfall earlier this week.
The mild weather will be short-lived, as a sharp temperature drop is forecast for the weekend. Temperatures are expected to fall to 17°C with showers on Saturday, followed by a high of only 5°C on Sunday. By Monday, the forecast calls for a high of 2°C with a chance of flurries, marking a return to cooler, more seasonal conditions.
