Manitoba weather is defined by cold winters and warm summers, with wide temperature swings and frequent storms. The live forecast above shows current conditions for the province, offering a snapshot of today’s highs, lows, and precipitation chances.
What drives Manitoba’s weather?
Manitoba’s continental climate brings very cold winters, often dropping below -30°C, and humid summers that can reach the mid-30s°C. The province sits in a transition zone where Arctic air collides with moist Gulf air, producing rapid changes and active storm tracks. The manitoba weather radar network tracks these systems year-round, especially during spring and summer when severe weather is common. Check the 10-day forecast to plan around these swings.
When does severe weather hit?
Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes occur most often from June to August, with a secondary peak in May and September. A tornado manitoba event typically follows a hot, humid afternoon with a cold front passage. The Red River Valley and areas east of Lake Manitoba see the highest risk. A manitoba storm can also bring hail, heavy rain, and damaging winds. For live tracking, use the Canada weather hub for radar and warnings.
What is tornado season in Manitoba?
Peak tornado activity runs from June through August, with most twisters forming in the afternoon and evening. The southern half of the province, especially near the Red River, sees the highest frequency.
