Residents in Niverville can look forward to a stretch of warmer weather this week as temperatures climb, though officials advise keeping a winter jacket handy for the chilly mornings. According to Environment Canada, the community will see a steady rise in temperatures from today’s high of 5°C to reach 13°C by Wednesday, April 15.
While the daytime forecast is warming up, the early mornings remain cold. Residents experienced a wind chill of -17°C this morning, April 9. Because of these brisk starts, wearing light layers remains the best way to stay comfortable while outdoors throughout the week.
Friday and Saturday are expected to be the most pleasant days for anyone with outdoor plans, with mainly sunny conditions and daytime highs between 9°C and 11°C. The mild trend will continue through the weekend, though rain is expected to return to the area on Sunday, April 12, with temperatures dropping to -1°C by that night.
This shift to milder weather follows a week of unsettled conditions after a system brought wet snow and rain to southern Manitoba earlier this week.
As spring continues across the province, the Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre is monitoring moisture levels. Above-average precipitation across Manitoba this spring may impact agricultural timelines, as wet conditions can delay the start of fieldwork for local farmers.
