Back from Animethon. While I have taken numerous, numerous photos (approximately 500 before sifting through and editing), I probably won't get around to selecting and processing them until end of July/beginning of August due to prior commitments. I mean, August is when Animethon usually happened and I got my photos edited anyway, so...
Edmonton weather: A 29 C high threatened by showers and thunderstorms
Article content
A look at Monday’s Edmonton Weather from Environment Canada.
It’s currently 17 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station with 9 km/h winds out of the southeast.
It was a busy weekend in our bustling city, what with Animethon, Cariwest, and Folk Fest all happening at the same time — a true testament to the diversity of cultures and interests that make Edmonton beautiful.

So beautiful, in fact, today’s weather might be mistaken for the sky getting all misty-eyed. Because, you know, anthropomorphizing the sky is totally normal.
We start the week with a Monday that has clear and sunny skies until the early afternoon and a high of 29 C, with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms, winds picking up to 40 km/h, That chance of thundershowers will persist overnight, as will the 40 km/h winds. That mix of sun and cloud will continue into Tuesday, with a high of 27 C and a 30 per cent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms throughout the day.
The forecast is a mix of good and bad, essentially. Hopefully you can find some time to enjoy the outdoors without getting rained on!
