Calgary Braces for Heavy Rain and Flooding

Calgary’s gearing up for a major downpour—with Environment Canada warning of 50 to 100 mm of rain through Monday, easing Tuesday morning. Flooding is the main threat, especially in low-lying areas, where roads could turn into rivers and fast currents may disrupt traffic and damage infrastructure. Officials urge drivers to avoid flooded streets and watch for riverbank washouts. Mayor Jeromy Farkas says river levels are normal but will rise slightly, similar to early June—expect wet spots near rivers, possible pathway closures under bridges, and maybe a boating advisory. Emergency crews are ready but don’t anticipate a full-scale response. Thunderstorms and chilly temps (15–17°C) are also in the forecast. Stay alert, especially near rivers and low roads.
