While Thompson residents are no strangers to shifting weather patterns, today’s rain and cooler-than-average temperatures suggest a premature slide into fall-like conditions. According to Environment Canada, rainfall is common in Thompson from June to September, but it’s typically paired with warmer daytime highs. The current chill marks a departure from the seasonal average for late June, which usually hovers closer to 16°C.
Visibility remains low due to the consistent rain, and residents are advised to drive cautiously and be prepared for wet roads. The damp weather also brings an uptick in humidity levels, which may affect outdoor work and activities.
With the summer season now officially underway, residents may have to wait a little longer for consistently warm, dry weather to settle in.
