Scorching hot: Airdrie’s 2025 summer forecast

The Farmers' Almanac has released its 2025 summer outlook, and it is looking hot for Airdrie.

"With the exception of the Atlantic Coast, the arrival of the summer solstice will start on an unsettled, if not a stormy note for much of the nation," shared the Almanac.

The season officially begins with the summer solstice on June 20, 2025.

"Summer heat will arrive in full force by July with much of the nation sweltering with more than above-average temperatures."

Like in recent years, the Almanac predicts that some long-standing high temperature records may be broken.

"Much of the country will see near-average precipitation, but British Columbia and parts of Alberta will be drier than normal, which could lend itself to widespread wildfire activity."

According to the almanac's spring forecast, early-season storms are expected to bring a mix of heavy rain and snow to many regions. The Prairies, including Alberta, are forecast to be “unseasonably cool” with plenty of rain.

“[A] Wet Easter Sunday with showers Rockies, Prairies,” the Almanac notes.

Back at the end of January, Balzac Billy predicted an early spring. Last year, Balzac Billy emerged from his burrow and spotted his shadow, predicting an extended winter.
