You can set your watch by it. If there’s a thunderstorm, it’s afternoon in Calgary. One week into August, and the city has already topped the average for rainfall in the month. On Monday morning, the Calgary International Airport reported 59.1 millimetres of rain, and that was before an afternoon thundershower rolled through. The 30-year average for rainfall in Calgary is 57 millimetres, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Kirk Torneby. He said this year’s numbers are based on the airport’s rain gauge, and said there are likely areas of the city that have seen much more precipitation. These things are quite spotty by nature,” he said. “Basically — as things roll through — there’s areas that get heavier precipitation than others.” He noted that Canada Olympic Park is showing 40 millimetres for the month. While we’re now above-average, Calgary still has a ways to go in topping the all-time record of 238.8 millimetres set in 1899. And although there may be showers forecast for every day until Thursday, Environment Canada is predicting a sunny and warm weekend.
