At 3PM the sun is out again, and Blatchford has recorded 21mm. So July 2026 now sits at 263.5mm. That's still 5.6mm short of our record-breaking June, and 19.2mm shy of 1901's all-time record. #yegwx #yeg
chris - sᴉɹɥɔJuly 25th's storm pushed the July total up to 242.5mm, which is Blatchford's 3rd rainiest month on record. #yegwx #yeg The only months with more were 269.1mm last month, and 282.7mm in 1901. (and one more big storm could catch either of those) public.tableau.com/shared/XJ56W...
...16.2mm is also enough to push 2026 up to 651mm, which is the 3rd most on record (with 5 months to go...) bsky.app/profile/yegw...
chris - sᴉɹɥɔ...for 2026 so far we're at 634.8mm, which is Blatchford's 5th most on record. We're 5~15mm away from the 4th & 3rd spots. And we're 90mm away from the record. (for the rest of the year we average another 150mm, and our lowest recent year was 85mm) public.tableau.com/shared/2GM9K...
The rain is still going, but at 2PM it's been 16.2mm, which moves July 2026 up to 258.7mm. That's only our 3rd month to ever cross the 250mm mark. It's 10.4mm away from catching last month, and 24mm away from 1901's all-time record. #yegwx #yeg

Downtown has had two not-insignificant storms in the past hour. So I'm really curious how close this will push July to June's 269.1mm.

Just once it would be nice to be able to go a day or two without needing to update this.

...for precipitation the local stations have only ever had 7 months get to 200mm: July 1901 June 1914 July 1937 July 1982 (airport) July 2012 (Stony Plain) And now Blatchford gets 2 in-a-row. (the previous biggest 2 in-a-row were ~130mm at Blatchford & Stony Plain) public.tableau.com/shared/37FF9...
I loke Environment Canada's stations because they've got the long histories. But the city also posts a bunch of stations. Most last night were 20-30mm, but a few (including downtown) were around 35mm. data.edmonton.ca/Externally-S...
