Residents in Morris, Manitoba can look forward to a significant warming trend this week as temperatures move from current cool conditions toward a high of 25°C by Sunday, May 24, 2026. While the region is currently experiencing overcast skies and brisk winds, Environment Canada reports that no weather alerts are active at this time.
The transition to warmer weather follows a cooler start to the week, with temperatures hovering around 5°C to 6°C as of May 19. The forecast indicates a mix of sun and clouds for the coming days, with sunny conditions on Thursday and a mix of sun and cloud on Friday. Temperatures are expected to climb steadily throughout the week, reaching 18°C on Wednesday and 21°C on Thursday.
This seasonal shift arrives as the community continues to move past the spring flood season. According to the Manitoba Hydrologic Forecast Centre, the region was assessed as having a low-to-moderate flood risk this year. To prepare for the spring thaw, which began on March 30, officials completed ice-cutting and breaking operations along the Red River by March 11 to reduce the risk of ice jams.
The Town of Morris, which is protected by a ring dike system, has been managing the spring response alongside provincial authorities. Earlier in the season, flood watches and warnings were in effect for the Red River and surrounding tributaries, leading to the temporary use of ring dike closures that have since been removed. Looking ahead, the International Research Institute at Columbia Climate School had previously indicated a higher probability of above-normal temperatures for the province throughout the spring months.
