The ingredients of a Prairie thunderstorm
Weather columnist Daniel Bezte says Manitoba farmers can expect many thunderstorms every summer, but only some become severe, if they have all the right ingredients.
Spring weather on the Prairies is a messy thing
Manitoba’s spring, along with the other Prairie provinces, has a lot of chaos built in as seasons change and summer tries to assert itself
Back into the deep freeze?
The forecasts suggest a return to colder weather on the Prairies until February.
Holiday weather gift ideas
Each year around this time I like to take a look at weather-related gift ideas. I’m a little bit behind this year, but there is still plenty of time to order something weather related for that special person on your gift list.

We’ve seen a few thunderstorms over southern and central Manitoba so far this July, but most have not been very severe. That said, over the weekend, southwestern Manitoba had a tornado watch in effect and that reminded me that we need to finish our look at severe thunderstorms and in particular, tornadoes. The biggest question about[...]A July heat wave is possible
Summer weather definitely arrived last week with plenty of heat, humidity and even a few thunderstorms. It looks like this pattern will continue for much of this forecast period. Fortunately, it looks like we may miss the extreme heat the U.S. is experiencing during this forecast period, but it still looks like it will be[...]
