We went for a 15-min walk after the Canada game. I wore jeans AND gave myself a quick spritz of Deep Woods Off.

I STILL got a mosquito bite *through my jeans*. These things are absolutely VICIOUS after all that rain.

I am unsure how I'll make it through the next few weeks with those stupid bites swelling up to tennis ball sized welts.... Have we investigated "dragonflies and bats as pets" yet??

This weather confuses my brain. Grey and rainy should be cold but it’s actually warm out.

239.3mm of precip in June 2026 at the Blatchford weather station in Edmonton.

And still three days to go with rain in the forecast...lots of it.

This is the second wettest month on record at Blatchford and the wettest month on record, in July 1901 of 282.7mm, may be in peril.

this poor young crow fledged from its nest this week, and enjoyed two glorious days of sunshine learning how to hop-glide from tree to tree, asking mom and dad to feed them every 10 minutes.

last night, the rain started.

welcome to adulthood kid.

At 9AM Saturday Blatchford & Stony Plain are both over 230mm for the month.
So this is a new June record, easily.
And it's more than half of the ~430mm that we average in an entire year.
All that's left is the all-time record of 283mm from July 1901.

I good heavy pour down here now.

Environment Canada is expecting 40-70mm of rain in Edmonton this weekend. Already started, heavy tomorrow, lighter on Sunday. That's less than what we received last weekend, but with wet ground & full stormwater systems, they're giving it a more serious "orange" warning level.

They're now saying dry Monday & Tuesday, though, with the rain probably returning for the holiday (😣) Wednesday July 1.

So we're on track for rainiest June on record (since the 1880s), but only in worse case scenario would we top that July 1901 rainiest month record.

ALT for quote: screenshots of linked interactive chart, one showing the July rainfall totals and one showing June. Edmonton downtown (labelled Blatchford, after the former downtown airport) has data since 1880s, EIA (Edmonton international airport, south of the city) and Stony Plain (large town west of the city) have data since 1960s.

one thing no one has mentioned is the absence of wildfire smoke in the air this year. after several years of intensely smoky summers, this feels like a reprieve and i appreciate it.
