Didsbury, Alberta residents should brace for unsettled weather today as Environment Canada warns of a 60 percent chance of showers, while nearby Calgary and Edmonton face a risk of thunderstorms this evening. Skies are expected to clear for a sunny and warm weekend.
The official Environment Canada forecast for Didsbury calls for cloudy skies with a high of 12°C on Friday, June 12, 2026, with winds becoming north 20 km/h near noon. While the Didsbury forecast stops short of an explicit thunderstorm warning, nearby areas including Calgary and Edmonton face a risk of thunderstorms this evening, and earlier this week severe thunderstorm watches covered parts of Mountain View County, which includes Didsbury.
The unsettled start won’t last. Saturday is expected to bring clearing skies and a high of 18°C, with fog patches dissipating in the morning. Sunday looks sunny with a high of 22°C, and Monday will see a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 23°C. That’s an 11-degree jump from Friday’s forecast high.
Friday night carries an additional caution: temperatures will drop to a low of plus 3°C with a risk of frost, so gardeners and farmers may need to protect sensitive plants overnight.
June is typically Didsbury’s wettest month, averaging about 14.5 precipitation days, and the broader three-month summer outlook from Environment Canada suggests above-normal temperatures are likely for the Edmonton-Calgary region, with a 60 to 70 percent probability.
