Multiple thunderstorm complexes moved through southern Manitoba all day on the 25th, starting in the evening on the 24th. Training storms dumped significant amounts of rain in the Interlake with over 100 mm recorded in the Gypsumville area. The worst storm complex moved in from southeastern Saskatchewan overnight on the 25th in southwestern Manitoba, producing damaging straight-line winds in St Lazare, Foxwarren and Birtle. Trees were knocked down, power was knocked out, and the arena in Foxwarren was badly damaged and will take months to repair. The strongest measured wind gust was 106 km/h at St Lazare. The Red River Valley completely missed out on all the action. It was instead just hot and very humid. Dewpoint temperatures reached 25c in areas south and east of Winnipeg, which is abnormally high for that late in the season. Winnipeg Airport reached 23.5c, the latest date on record to reach a dewpoint that high since 1953. |
