Colleen Bready’s Forecast: Hot, humid and hazy conditions in Manitoba

Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for July 24, 2025.

Conditions in Winnipeg and across southern Manitoba will be hot, humid and hazy on Thursday.

Most areas will see a mix of sun and cloud, with daytime highs in the mid-20s that will feel like the upper 20s, thanks to the humidex.

There is a low chance of showers late this afternoon and early evening, with the risk of thunderstorms.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says smoke in the southwest is dispersing, adding southwesterly winds developing behind a high pressure ridge Thursday will hold off new smoke for the next couple of days in the region.

Meanwhile, ECCC has continued an air quality warning Thursday for the Flin Flon and Lynn Lake regions, where wildfires continue to burn.

Outside of those regions, much of the north will see sunshine or a mix of sun and clouds, with warm highs in the mid-20s. Localized smoke is expected in many areas, too.

The weather agency says a low crossing northern Saskatchewan will bring showers and non-severe thunderstorms that could reach Manitoba overnight or by early Friday morning.

Showers will fall over wildfire areas, but ECCC says higher amounts will be localized.

The heat turns up higher in the south on Friday, with hot highs around 30 C, including in Winnipeg and Brandon. Most areas should see a mix of sun and clouds. An afternoon thunderstorm can’t be ruled out.

Hot temperatures will stick around all weekend in Winnipeg, even if the sunshine doesn’t. Saturday will be sunny, but Sunday will turn soggy with showers with the potential for thunderstorms.
