Edmonton weather: Gusty winds but there’s still sunshine, high 21 C

A look at Sunday’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

It’s 7 C at the Edmonton Blatchford weather station early Saturday with 2 km/h winds from the south, southeast.

Gusts may bat you around but it’s hard to push down the sun. There’s always that shard of backup where you may surprise yourself by buying into the old, somewhat elevated, mantra, ‘It’s a good day…to have a great day!” With the sun hanging around, a high set for 21 C, the buy-in is as easy to grasp as you make it.
