I don't mind the rain in Edmonton this month, really. (Especially with the reminder of summer wildfire season coming from Kelowna today!)

But I really wish this weather system wasn't completely messing with the forecasts.

As of yesterday, the forecast was for rain all day today & dry tomorrow. Instead, we had a nice sunny afternoon while I was doing indoor chores. And just when I was ready to go out to the garden, oh look big black clouds, let's do something else. But no rain & then sunny again, so I wrap that up & head outside just to get sprinkled on within minutes. OK, back inside until this cloud blows over. But now it's absolutely pouring, & tomorrow's forecast is mostly rain, too.

Gonna go get soaked in the shower instead. It's warmer that way. Thursday's weather is supposed to be nice. 🙃

I like this forecast! This is a week of comfortable temperatures with some rain mixed in.

A week ago the local stations had gotten around 90mm of precipitation so far in 2026.
But after the past 3 days Blatchford is now just shy of doubling that, with 177mm. #yegwx #yeg

And while I'm posting pretty views from other people's homes, here's some penthouse apartment views of the misty river valley near downtown Edmonton yesterday evening.
(Photos taken at the same time, just different auto colour balance triggered by differences in the room light, I think.)

The rain has finally stopped. Probably close to 75mm (3in) over 3 days.

And while it's good for the garden overall, the lilacs are soooo droopy. (They still smell nice, though.)

Sunny photos are from Saturday evening. Droopy photos are from this afternoon & yesterday evening.

It has rained so much that the wood on my gate has swelled enough I need a hammer to open the latch.

@linux_mclinuxface I was weeping the other day as I turned the thermostat back off of the minimum

Meanwhile about 5min ago I put out a small bin to catch some rainwater overflowing from my garage's eavestroughs and it has already filled up!
