What is the weather like in Alberta?
- Temperature in August & September will vary from normal highs in the 60’s to 80’s and lows in the 40’s to 60’s.
Snow flurries can occur in the second half of September. - October weather is generally cooler with normal highs in the 50’s to 60’s and lows in the 20’s to 40’s.
