One thing Albertans remember all too well is the great flood of 2013. The rain that fell (300 mm in some areas) set flooding in motion often considered to be the worst in our (relatively short) history. The Calgary area made the greatest headlines as four rivers and streams meet in the city, all of which flooded at once.
Another great significant event was the 2016 Fort McMurray fire. A mass of freakishly warm and dry air moved into the area. One day in early May, it reached 32.8 and 31.9 °C on two consecutive days. The wind blew strong during this heat wave and made dry tinder out of the forested area and fuelled the fire once it did get going.
Of course some attributed it to climate change and pointed out the irony of the city's industrial sectors and their contribution to atmospheric carbon content. That discussion continues to today.
Now for the near past. The forecast pages listed above also include recently observed weather.
