After a weekend of sweltering heat, Niverville is in for a stormy and unsettled week, according to Environment Canada. The forecast calls for a risk of thunderstorms starting Tuesday, followed by several days of rain and much cooler temperatures before conditions clear up by the weekend.
Monday morning began with cloud cover, but skies are expected to clear by the afternoon, giving way to sunshine and a high of 27°C. The real change arrives Tuesday, June 9, when a 30 percent chance of showers develops, along with a risk of thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Temperatures will climb to 31°C, but with humidity it could feel closer to 37. Southeast winds are expected to pick up to 30 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h as the storm system moves in.
The wet pattern continues through the middle of the week. Wednesday brings cloudy skies and a 70 percent chance of showers, with a high of 21°C. By Thursday, rain is likely along with windy conditions and a high of just 17°C—a sharp drop from Tuesday’s heat. Cooler, unsettled weather is expected to linger until Friday, when partly cloudy skies and a high of 21°C return.
The active weather follows a weekend heat wave that pushed temperatures above 30°C and prompted heat warnings across southeastern Manitoba. Those warnings were lifted early Monday as cooler air began moving in. The transition from hot to cooler conditions often fuels severe thunderstorms in the region, and Environment Canada is monitoring the situation closely.
This week’s storm risk comes just days after at least three tornadoes touched down in southern Manitoba on June 3 — one near Manitou and two near Carman — along with large hail. The unsettled pattern is expected to ease by Saturday, bringing a return to calmer, milder weather just in time for the weekend.
