Calgary’s weather news today centres on the live forecast above, which shows the immediate conditions and short-term trend for the city. This page explains what drives Calgary’s famously variable weather—from Chinook winds to rapid temperature swings—and what you can expect over the coming days and weeks.
What makes Calgary’s weather so changeable?
Calgary sits where prairie, foothills, and mountain weather systems meet. This collision zone produces rapid shifts: a Chinook can raise temperatures by 15°C or more in hours, while Arctic air can drop them just as fast. The live forecast above captures the current pattern, but for the calgary weather next 30 days, expect a mix of sunny ridges and sudden cold snaps, especially in winter and spring.
What does the 10- to 14-day outlook show?
For a practical planning window, the weather in calgary 10 days and calgary weather 14 day forecasts are your most reliable tools. These medium-range outlooks from Environment Canada balance model confidence with local effects like the Chinook. The live forecast above includes this extended view; check it for precipitation chances and wind speeds, which often matter more than the high temperature alone.
How accurate are 10-day forecasts for Calgary?
Medium-range forecasts (7–14 days) are generally reliable for broad trends like a warm spell or cold front, but day-to-day precision drops after day 7. Use the live forecast above and update it daily for best results.
Does Calgary get more snow than other Canadian cities?
Calgary averages about 130 cm of snow annually—less than cities like Montreal or Ottawa—but its snow tends to melt quickly due to Chinook winds. The Calgary Weather page tracks seasonal snowfall totals.
What is a Chinook, and when does it happen?
A Chinook is a warm, dry wind that descends the eastern Rockies, often raising Calgary’s temperature by 10–20°C within hours. They occur most frequently from November to March and can clear snow rapidly.
