So April 20th is our first 20⁰C day of 2026, and our warmest day since October 10th.
It's fairly typical for these to start popping up in Mid-April (although the forecast High of 3⁰C later this week is also fairly typical)

Edmonton folks:
AccuWeather has been consistently predicting highs of 20°C and above for Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday. Environment Canada is sticking to more temperate predictions, 14-16°, although they're now saying maybe 20 by Tuesday.
Where are you placing your bets?
(Poll in reply)
(PS, for non-Edmonton folks: today's high was -1°C, which is considerable warmer than it got yesterday. We have fresh snow reflecting back the evening sunshine, although not quite as much snow as this morning.)
This was from last night while it was still snowing. This morning was very wintery, and I had to take out the winter bike again. Just for a morning apppintment though. I imagine later today I'll be back on the summer bike again, looking at the high.
EDIT: I was wrong about that, it started snowing again instead!
