Colleen Bready's Forecast: Smokiest year on record in Manitoba

Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual It is a sobering statistic, but 2025 is now the smokiest year on record in Winnipeg. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says 306 hours of smoke were observed in the city as of early Tuesday morning, eclipsing the longstanding previous record of 304 hours set in 1961. The weather agency considers wildfire season to last from April 1 to October 31 annually and noted how early the record was set this year with the better part of three months left. The third smokiest year on record in Winnipeg was 2021, with 262 hours of smoke observed. That said, smoke will be replaced with showers and potentially more severe weather on Tuesday in southern Manitoba. ECCC issued a severe thunderstorm watch early Tuesday afternoon for the southwest, including Brandon and Dauphin. According to the weather agency, an approaching trough of low pressure is triggering thunderstorms in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba that could become severe this afternoon and evening. Showers are expected to reach Winnipeg and the southeast as early as Tuesday evening. Anywhere from 5 to 15 mm of precipitation is possible tonight, with forecast amounts for Winnipeg at the lower end. Late-night and overnight thunderstorms are also possible. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke continues to plague other regions in the province, with an air quality warning remaining in effect for all of northern Manitoba, eastern areas, and into parts of northwestern Ontario.
