Red Deer is in for another wet day as rain continues through Monday, June 22, 2026, with a risk of thunderstorms this evening, according to Environment Canada. The forecast calls for periods of rain and a local rainfall amount of about 5 mm, with northwest winds gusting to 40 km/h and a high of 15°C.
As of late morning, conditions at the Red Deer Regional Airport showed light rain, a temperature of 9.0°C, and humidity at 93%, with northwest winds gusting to 41 km/h. Tonight, the chance of showers sits at 60%, along with a continuing risk of thunderstorms before skies clear near midnight. Fog patches are likely to develop overnight as the temperature drops to a low of 5°C.
The wet weather follows a powerful system that drenched central Alberta over the weekend, dumping 50 to 100 mm of rain in some areas, including Red Deer and Edmonton. While no alerts are currently in effect for the city, residents are reminded that June is a peak month for thunderstorm activity in the province. The unsettled pattern is expected to give way to clearer skies starting Tuesday, with sunny conditions and fog dissipating in the morning. The high will reach 21°C, then climb to 24°C on Wednesday and 25°C by Thursday—well above the seasonal normal of 21°C.
But the break from the rain won’t last long. Another round of wet weather is forecast to arrive late in the week. Friday will see a mix of sun and cloud with a 60% chance of showers and a high of 25°C, followed by a cloudy night with the same chance of rain. Saturday is expected to bring periods of rain and a cooler high of 16°C.
The recent storms highlight how quickly conditions can change in Alberta. Summer storms in the province have caused over $300 million in insured damage in recent years, with a single event in June 2023 resulting in more than $40 million in losses. As the week unfolds, residents should keep an eye on the forecast and be prepared for shifting weather.
