Residents in Gimli, Manitoba, are heading into a week of changing weather that will bring a mix of wet conditions followed by a noticeable rise in temperatures. According to Environment Canada, the community will transition from cool, unsettled weather to warmer, sunnier days as the week progresses.
The week began on a chilly note, with temperatures reaching only about 7°C as of Tuesday afternoon. The forecast indicates that while there is a 30 percent chance of showers early Tuesday evening, the weather will clear later tonight. However, gardeners should prepare for a potential frost, as overnight lows are expected to drop to -1°C.
Conditions will continue to fluctuate through mid-week, with a 60 percent chance of showers and a risk of a thunderstorm Wednesday night, followed by periods of rain on Thursday. Once that system passes, a significant warming trend is expected to take hold. Daytime highs are forecasted to climb from 16°C on Wednesday to 22°C by Sunday, and potentially reach 25°C by next Monday.
This upcoming stretch of warmer weather will be a welcome shift for the community, where the population grows from several thousand year-round residents to over 10,000 during the summer season. As temperatures move above the typical May high of 19°C, local businesses and residents can expect more suitable conditions for outdoor activities along the west shore of Lake Winnipeg.
