After one of the colder and snowier winters in recent years – including the city receiving four times the typical amount of snow in February – the entire campus community has been eagerly awaiting spring and the return of those blue skies and the bright, southern Alberta sun. Lethbridge averages 333 days of sunshine a year, making it one of the sunniest cities in Canada.
It’s also one of the windiest, ranking second (just behind St. John’s, Nfld.) with the most days having a wind speed above 40 km/h. This stat should surprise no one: on average, 115 days a year in Lethbridge meet that criteria. But that wind is responsible for some of the sunshine, and after the winter the city’s just experienced, there is no reason to complain.
