Residents of Regina should prepare for a shift in the weather this weekend, as a brief stretch of mild spring conditions gives way to rain and potential flurries.
According to Environment Canada, Saturday, April 11, will be the warmest day of the period, featuring sunny skies and a high of 13°C. This is slightly above the city’s seasonal norm of 10°C for early April.
The conditions are expected to change on Sunday, April 12, as rain moves into the area with a high of 7°C. The cooling trend will continue into Monday, April 13, when the temperature is forecast to reach a high of only 1°C, accompanied by a 60 percent chance of flurries.
While no weather alerts are currently in effect for Regina, the transition to cooler temperatures and precipitation can lead to hazardous driving conditions. The Saskatchewan RCMP recently responded to 78 weather-related incidents across the province between April 7 and April 8, serving as a reminder for drivers to use caution during spring weather shifts.
Winter driving conditions can persist in Saskatchewan throughout April, as the area typically experiences its last frost around May 20. Residents can monitor real-time road conditions through the Highway Hotline operated by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways, or consult Saskatchewan Government Insurance for safety guidance.
