Drop by for a coffee in February and tell me about global warming. Temps during a cold snap last year........The coldest temperature ever recorded at Winnipeg was -47.8°C (-54.0°F), on December 24, 1879.
The coldest temperature during the last 25 years was -41.7°C (-43.1°F) on February 5, 2007 [2] The coldest wind chill reading ever recorded was -57.1 °C (-70.8 °F) on February 1, 1996. According to Environment Canada, Winnipeg is the coldest city in the world with a population of over 600,000.[3]
Summers are typically warm and often humid, particularly in June and July, with frequent (and sometimes severe) thundershowers. Occasionally, humidex readings exceed 40 °C (104 °F). The average maximum temperature for June, July, and August is 24.7 °C (76.5 °F). On average, the maximum daily temperature exceeds 30°C (86°F) on 11 days out of 92 for these three months and the minimum daily temperature falls to or below 2°C (36°F) on only one out of the 92 days. Depending on the year, warm weather can continue beyond Thanksgiving in October, or come to an abrupt end soon after Labour Day. The city often receives an Indian Summer, when summer weather returns briefly after the first frosts, in mid to late October, or even early November. The highest temperature ever recorded in Winnipeg (since commencement of record-keeping in 1873) was 42.2°C (108.0°F) on July 11, 1936. The hottest temperature recorded in the past 25 years was 38.8°C (101.8°F) on September 2, 1983.
The highest humidex reading was 48.0°C (118.4°F) on July 25, 2007.
Spring and fall tend to be rather contracted seasons, each averaging little over six weeks. In general the weather during these seasons is highly variable, and rapidly changing. For example, temperatures in Winnipeg in May have ranged from -11.7 °C (10.9 °F) to 37.8 °C (100.0 °F), and in October from -20.6 °C (-5.1 °F) to 30.5 °C (86.9 °F).
Edit: just read that we are the sunniest city in Canada, so I'm stayin'
