Alberta’s Wettest Summer on Record | Calgary News

Alberta’s weather is going off the rails again—severe thunderstorms and tornado watches cover huge swaths of the province, especially around Edmonton, with baseball-sized hail, torrential rain, and dangerous winds brewing between 4 and 8 p.m. This follows a summer already drenched in record-breaking rain, with Edmonton officially experiencing its wettest summer on record—more precipitation than an entire average year, and July isn’t even over. The saturated ground and overwhelmed drainage systems are struggling to keep up, with utility crews warning a prolonged dry spell is needed just to recover. Tornadoes and flooding are hitting other parts of Alberta too, forcing disaster declarations in some counties. With over 650 millimeters of rain already recorded, this summer’s weather is anything but normal—and it’s only getting wilder.
