Selkirk, Manitoba can expect a warm but unsettled week of weather, starting with clearing skies Monday afternoon before thunderstorms and a sharp temperature drop arrive later in the week. Environment Canada says Monday will reach a high of 26°C. South winds gusting to 50 km/h will ease as the day clears.
The Environment Canada forecast calls for mainly sunny skies Tuesday morning, but clouds will build through the afternoon with showers and a risk of thunderstorms by late in the day. The high will again be 26°C, with a humidex near 29. Southeast winds will pick up, gusting to 50 km/h.
A bigger change comes Thursday, when rain and windy conditions will keep the high to just 16°C. That is well below the average high of 22°C for this time of year. Friday remains cool at 18°C under a mix of sun and cloud. June is typically one of the wetter months in Selkirk, averaging 104 mm of precipitation.
No weather alerts are in effect for the Selkirk area as of Monday. This follows a period of active severe weather across southern Manitoba earlier this month, when Environment Canada confirmed at least three tornadoes touched down on June 2, with additional tornado warnings issued on June 3. That system brought tornado warnings to several communities, but the immediate threat has since passed.
Residents can find updated forecasts and any new alerts on the Environment Canada website.
