Calgary to break through bitter February cold spell this week
Posted Feb 20, 2025 7:44 am.
It’s felt like a long time coming, and it’s not known how long it’ll last — but warmer weather has finally arrived in Calgary Thursday.
660 NewsRadio Calgary meteorologist Kevin Stanfield says it appears Calgary is at the end of the cold stretch, at least for now.
“Temperatures between five and 10 degrees should be expected in the coming days and checking into the long range forecast, we don’t have a repeat event like the first half of February in our future,” he said.

Despite the morning starting off chilly at -19 C, Thursday is set to be the first day of the shift, with a high for the day of 5 C. The evening will still be cool, but nothing like what the city has seen in recent weeks. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is forecasting a low of -3 C that will feel like -7 C with the wind chill.
Temperatures are only expected to get better as we head into the weekend — ECCC is forecasting a high of 5 C and a low of 2 C for Friday, a high of 8 C and a low of 4 C for Saturday, and a high of 10 C and a low of 3 for Sunday.
The work week is also expected to feel like spring, with a high of 7 C and a low of 0 C on Monday, a high of 8 C and a low of 2 C on Tuesday, and a high of 9 C on Wednesday.
ECCC says the average high for this time of year is 1 C and the average low is -11 C
