Climate Chart of Edmonton, Canada

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures are lowest at -11.0 °C in February and highest at 18.2 °C in July. These are averages for the months, not daytime highs or lows, so they provide a broad guide to the temperature pattern rather than a forecast of daily extremes. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean temperature is 3.7 °C. It summarizes the monthly averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly value at 3.58 mm/day in June. This is a daily mean, not a monthly accumulation, and it does not reveal how often rain falls or guarantee wet weather on a particular day. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall is 0.05 mm/day in both February / December. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.17 mm/day; neither figure gives the rainfall total for a month.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly value at 5.63 mm/day in November. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-snowfall means is 2.57 mm/day. These amounts do not establish how many days have snow, snow depth or snow cover, and should not be taken as a guide to skiing conditions.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is greatest at 12.56 hours/day in July and least at 4.08 hours/day in December. These durations can help with broad outdoor planning, but sunshine hours are not the same as daylight length and do not guarantee clear skies on an individual day. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine durations is 8.38 hours/day. It gives a summary across months rather than a day-weighted annual figure.

Best Travel Time Guide for Edmonton, Canada: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, February is the relevant option in the temperature record, with a monthly mean of -11.0 °C; this does not predict daytime extremes or the conditions on specific dates. If lower average rainfall is the priority, February / December has the lowest monthly mean daily rainfall at 0.05 mm/day. The measure does not guarantee dry days or indicate how frequently rain occurs, so keep plans flexible. For rain preparation, note that June has the highest monthly mean daily rainfall, 3.58 mm/day; bringing a suitable rain layer is a practical precaution, although the average cannot tell you whether it will rain during a particular visit.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, July has the highest mean daily sunshine duration at 12.56 hours/day, while December has the lowest at 4.08 hours/day. These figures support broad comparisons, not promises of clear weather, and sunshine duration is not daylight length. The highest monthly mean daily snowfall occurs in November at 5.63 mm/day. Treat this as a snowfall average only: it does not tell you the chance of snow on a given day, snow cover, or travel conditions, so check forecasts close to departure.
