Chilly air to kick off Saturday morning in some places. Minimum 2.4°C at St. John's #YYT marked the lowest temperature at the site since June 10. Frosty low of -1.0°C at Lethbridge; coldest since June 26. #nlwx

Cool morning, but the start of a prolonged sunny spell for #NLwx! ☀️ Official overnight low of 2.5°C at Gander #YQX marked the coolest reading since June 12. #GanderWest dipped to 1.9°C, its lowest since June 15.

A fall air mass remains over #NLwx behind yesterday's low. Deer Lake #YDF dipped to -0.4°C early this morning, making for its first freeze since June 12 (and coldest temp since May 31). Goose Bay #YYR reached -0.3°C, also its first freeze (and coldest temp) since June 12.

Our first tempest of the season is now behind us. Yesterday's peak gust of 100 km/h at St. John's #YYT marked the strongest at the airport since March 27. The northeast coast saw even higher gusts. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Cool air on the backside of the storm brought Gander #YQX its first single-digit high of the season. Saturday's maximum of just 8.5°C marked first occurrence of a Tmax below 10°C since July 5 (and coolest since June 25). #nlwx

Brief report of mixed snow/rain at Wabush Airport earlier, the first of the season. No accumulation there so far, but it's starting to stick just across the border in nearby Fermont. ❄️ www.stormpost.com/cams_nl.pl #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Much drier today after yesterday's rain. Heaviest totals occurred along the south coast of the island, as well as near the Strait of Belle Isle. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Rain moving off to the east after a wet Monday. Gauge showing 24.6 mm in #GanderWest as of 6pm. Heavier amounts south with Burgeo reporting 52.7 mm and St. Alban's 41.4 mm. St. John's to see things get wetter soon. #nlwx

Low -0.5°C overnight at Badger. First freeze since June 26 (and coldest since June 13). #nlwx

There it is: evidence of fresh snow in the Torngat Mountains. ❄️ Shows up unmistakably in MODIS imagery when comparing the last clear day (Sep 5) with today (Sep 12). worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov?v=-67.979642... #nlwx

One of the local stories of 9/11 was how hot it became aboard the diverted planes, with no A/C and thousands of passengers unable to disembark for 24+ hours. #NLwx was in the midst of an unseasonably warm stretch for September, driven by an upper ridge dominating the North Atlantic.

040

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A dose of wintry precipitation showing up in the guidance for the Torngat Mountains tonight, and a bit of a sloppy mix possible in the higher portions of the Mealy Mountains tomorrow night. ❄️ #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Some cool lows this morning on the island ahead of the incoming weather system. Minimum 0.3°C at Badger marked the lowest temperature at the location since July 6. Deer Lake #YDF 0.7°C coldest since June 13. St. John's #YYT 4.4°C coldest since June 26. #nlwx

Cold morning in parts of Labrador. 🥶 Wabush #YWK bottomed out at -2.8°C, its lowest temperature since May 24. Cartwright's -1.5°C marked its first freeze since June 12, and coldest reading since June 11. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

May have composed a warning or two for this location in past. Not today though! #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Interesting weekend to be in Cape Breton; lots of flooding in River Bourgeois after 150-200+ mm of rain. Washouts and road closures in serval locations. #nsstorm. Some of this en route to #nlwx (though will lose a good bit of its punch).

Sunny and wind-free in Channel-Port aux Basques! #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Cool morning lows across Labrador, with frost in a number of locations. For Goose Bay #YYR, the minimum of 2.1°C marked the lowest temperature since June 13. Air mass moves down over the island tonight. #nlwx

Welcome to September! Low -0.7°C this morning at Wabush #YWK, marking the first official freeze since June 8 (and lowest temperature since June 6). spaces.navcanada.ca/workspace/me... #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Still no 30°C days at Gander #YQX this year as of Aug 31. Barring a fall anomaly, 2026 will be the first year since 2016 without one. Quite a diff from 2025 in #NLwx, which saw 5 days ≥30°C in St. John's, 8 in Gander & 10 in Badger. Yet PAB set a new all-time record high of 28.2°C this year! 🌡️

A shallow layer of marine fog spilling into L'Anse au Loup tonight from the strait. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Another warm one for much of the island. While most places have seen hotter weather this summer, this afternoon's maximum of 26.6°C at Cape Race marked the highest temperature there since July 22, 2014! 🌡️ #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Yesterday's official low of 20.1°C at St. John's #YYT makes August 25 the new latest date on record with a Tmin ≥20°C. Only 8 previous occurrences of a daily Tmin ≥20°C have been recorded since airport observations began in 1942; all of which were between Jul 21-Aug 13. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Muggy #NLwx continues for most. Also very warm in the east. St. John's #YYT dew point 22.2°C at 12:30 pm NDT (15:00 UTC) marked highest hourly value since July 31, 2024. YYT max temp 27.6°C today made for warmest since July 23, 2026, and ranks as 3rd highest so far this summer.

Very muggy Monday in central and western Newfoundland. Maximum hourly dew points thru 7:30 pm: 22.9°C (Millertown); highest in its short POR (2013-2026); prev max 22.8°C Aug 14, 2021. 21.9°C (Gander #YQX); highest since Jul 31, 2024. 21.8°C (Deer Lake #YDF); highest since Aug 19, 2024. #nlwx

Been a quiet in the tropics thus far but getting into that time of year. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Chilly start to Saturday in parts of Labrador. Temperature dipped below freezing at Kepimits hydro station (~135 km ESE of Lab City), reaching a minimum of -0.7°C. A little less nippy at Wabush #YWK, but the airport's 2.8°C overnight low marked its coldest reading since June 25. #nlwx

030

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Warmth still holding for Central/NE Nfld. Gander #YQX max 25.4°C today was its highest since Jul 26. Air mass transitioning to much less humid for the weekend. Days stay warm, but cooler nights, so parts of the island could also see low single digits in typical cool spots. #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Fall feel in western Labrador today; high just 15.0°C at Wabush #YWK despite decent sunshine. Lowest max since July 19. Guidance shows temperatures dropping into the low-to-mid single digits tonight, posing a risk for frost, especially in low-lying areas. 🥶 #nlwx

020

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Warm #NLwx for some today, and also a bit of humidity. Max Humidex of 36 at Badger marked the highest value at the location since Aug 13, 2025.

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Fall preview? A few cool lows in Labrador this Sunday morning: 1.4°C (Cartwright Junction); 2.4°C (Michikimats); 3.9°C (Kenamu River); 4.2°C (Paradise River); 5.1°C (Moose Head Lake); 5.6°C (Wabush #YWK); 5.7°C (Cartwright); 6.5°C (Port Hope Simpson). #nlwx

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

One year ago today, a different kind of #NLwx was making headlines. St. John's #YYT also hit 30+°C on the 13th, bringing 2025's final total to 5 days in the 30s. Warmest so far in 2026: 28.4°C (with just 23.4°C so far in Aug). Gander #YQX saw 8 days 30+°C in 2025. Warmest-to-date in 2026: 29.2°C.

Rodney Barney @rcbstormpost.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

☀️ Some warmth made its way across a larger chunk of the island today (but still eluded the far east). Gander #YQX topped out at 25.1°C, marking the 14th day ≥25°C in 2026. Last year, 22 such days had occurred by Aug 7 (before finishing with 35 days by season's end). #nlwx

=NEW ALL-TIME RECORD= Port aux Basques checking in with a high of 28.2°C today, Aug 6, 2026. 🥵 This breaks the previous reliable record of 27.2°C (Aug 5, 1911 & Aug 9, 1970) for warmest ever at the location. Data since 1898. 🌡️ Quite a contrast to the eastern side of the island! #nlwx

Wet times in western Labrador. Rainfall 85.8 mm since this current round began Monday morning at Wabush #YWK, and doesn't seem to be finished yet. That's on top of the 24 mm that fell on Saturday and Sunday. #nlwx

Despite being cooler than recent years on the island, July 2026 still finished slightly above the 30-year mean. But coolest since 2021 at YYT, YQX, and YDF. Interior Labrador was a bit warmer than the past couple of Julys (highest mean since 2023 at YYR; since 2024 at YWK). #nlwx
