Residents of Chestermere, Alberta can expect a stretch of warm and sunny weather to kick off August, with daytime highs reaching into the upper 20s through the weekend, according to Environment Canada.
The forecast calls for sunny skies Wednesday through Saturday, with highs of 28 C on Wednesday, 24 C on Thursday, 29 C on Friday, and 29 C on Saturday. The UV index will sit at 6 or high during this period, meaning sun protection is a must for anyone heading outdoors.
Wednesday started mostly cloudy at the Calgary International Airport observation site, which is used for Chestermere, with temperatures around 24 C and light north winds. As the afternoon progresses, skies are expected to become a mix of sun and cloud, and northwest winds of 20 km/h gusting to 40 will pick up. No weather alerts are currently in effect for the Rocky View County area.
The seasonal normal high for early August in Chestermere is 26 C, so the coming days will feel a bit warmer than usual. This lines up with the regional trend – Environment Canada meteorologist Brian Proctor previously noted that August 2026 would likely bring normal to above-normal temperatures to the Calgary area.
Sunday is forecast to remain sunny with a high of 26 C, but the pattern shifts on Monday as a mix of sun and cloud moves in and the temperature dips to 24 C. While no rain is in the seven-day outlook, the cloud cover will mark a cooler start to next week.
With the lake refill completed in May by the Western Irrigation District, Chestermere Lake is ready for recreation, making the sunny weekend an ideal time for residents to enjoy the water before conditions turn cloudier.
