Within one week, places like Calgary had a 43-degree change in temperature, going from a record 24 C on Oct. 28 to -19 C on Nov. 4. If you include the wind chill, it felt 50 degrees colder in just one week.
Arctic air is going to continue to dominate throughout Alberta thanks to a weather pattern that will remain stagnant for the first half of November. The average daily high this time of year is 6 C in Calgary – however, it will not be above 0 C at all until at least Nov. 12.
Calgary will normally have 22 days above 0 C in the month of November, and seven days with snow.
