The sweltering weekend lingered into Monday, with several communities breaking long‑standing temperature records as Manitoba endured one of its hottest stretches of the summer. Brandon set a new daily high Sunday at 33°C before hitting 32°C Monday, marking back‑to‑back days of dangerous heat across the southwest.
Province‑wide, temperatures climbed even higher — McCreary led the way Sunday at 36.5°C, the hottest reading in Manitoba, while Winnipeg topped the list Monday at 35.3°C.
The heat wave triggered multiple Environment Canada advisories and pushed humidex values into the mid‑40s in parts of southern Manitoba. Officials continue urging residents to take precautions, with the combination of heat, humidity and elevated river levels creating challenging conditions across the region.
