Calgary on Alert as Severe Thunderstorm Warning Takes Effect
Hey everyone, just a quick but important weather update that you really should pay attention to—Calgary is currently under a severe thunderstorm warning . This was officially issued on Saturday, June 28, 2025, and if you're in or around the area, it's something you don’t want to take lightly.
Environment Canada has flagged this situation because conditions are ripe for severe weather. That means we could be facing powerful winds, heavy downpours, intense lightning, and possibly even hail. These storms can form and move quickly, so there’s often not much warning before they hit. If you’re outside or have plans later today, it’s best to rethink those and maybe just stay indoors until things settle down.

What does a severe thunderstorm warning really mean? It’s more than just rain. It means there’s an immediate risk to people, animals, and property. Power outages, fallen trees, localized flooding, and even structural damage are all on the table if this system really ramps up. So, please be prepared.
Now’s a good time to check your emergency kit—make sure your flashlights have batteries, your phone is charged, and you know where your candles are, just in case. If you’re driving, especially on the highways or open roads around Calgary, visibility could drop fast. It’s not worth the risk. Find a safe place to pull over if the storm hits while you’re on the road.
And let’s not forget—lightning is no joke. If you hear thunder, that means lightning is close enough to strike. Get inside a sturdy building and stay away from windows and electrical appliances. Don’t wait it out under a tree or in an open field.
This isn’t about creating panic—it’s about staying smart and staying safe. Warnings like this are issued because there is a real possibility of danger, and it’s always better to be overprepared than caught off guard.
Stay tuned to your local news channels and weather alerts through your phone or radio. CTV Calgary and Environment Canada will be providing updates as the situation evolves. Stay safe, Calgary, and let’s ride out this storm responsibly.
