Description

Details

Heavy rain is expected. A low pressure system will bring heavy rain to communities in the Kivalliq beginning late Saturday evening and lasting through the day on Sunday. Total rainfall accumulations are expected to be between 20 and 40 mm. Strong easterly winds coinciding with the rain are also expected, with gusts up to 90 km/h possible. This will result in visibilities being reduced at times when the rain and wind are strongest. The rain and wind are expected to taper off Sunday evening.

Impacts and guidance

Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced at times. Local utility outages are possible. Rainfall warnings are issued when significant impacts are expected due to rainfall amounts. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NUstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on social media using #NUStorm.

Description

Détails

De la pluie forte est prévue. Une dépression occasionnera de la pluie forte dans les localités du Kivalliq à partir de samedi en fin de soirée et tout au long de la journée de dimanche. On prévoit une accumulation totale de 20 à 40 mm de pluie. On prévoit également de forts vents d'est en même temps que la pluie, avec des rafales qui pourraient atteindre 90 km/h. La visibilité sera donc réduite par moments, lorsque la pluie et les vents seront les plus forts. La pluie et le vent devraient s'atténuer progressivement dimanche soir.

Impacts et conseils

Une visibilité soudainement réduite par moments est à prévoir. Des pannes de courant sont possibles par endroits. Un avertissement de pluie est émis lorsque des impacts importants sont attendus en raison de la quantité de pluie prévue. Veuillez continuer à surveiller les alertes et les prévisions émises par Environnement Canada. Pour signaler du temps violent, envoyez un courriel à meteoNU@ec.gc.ca, appelez au 1-800-239-0484 ou publiez un message sur les réseaux sociaux en utilisant #NUMeteo.

Note: Service Notice – July 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Spring 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's deployment to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard, which was originally scheduled for June 2026, is delayed. We will communicate the new date when it is available. Monitor https://dd.weather.gc.ca/doc/genots/ for notifications on the new launch date. Information about free-form polygons representing the true threat area of a weather hazard remains under media embargo until launch, 2) marine alerts will now be issued for smaller zone splits in certain areas of Atlantic and Pacific waters and 3) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – juillet 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour le printemps 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) Le déploiement par ECCC visant à introduire des polygones de forme libre pour représenter la zone réelle de menace d’un aléa météorologique, qui était initialement prévu pour juin 2026, est retardé. Nous communiquerons la nouvelle date lorsqu’elle sera disponible. Surveiller https://dd.weather.gc.ca/doc/genots/ pour les notifications concernant la nouvelle date de lancement. Les informations concernant les polygones de forme libre représentant la zone réelle de menace d’un aléa météorologique demeurent sous embargo médiatique jusqu’au lancement, 2) les alertes marines seront désormais émises pour des subdivisions de zones plus petites dans certaines régions des eaux de l’Atlantique et du Pacifique et 3) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.
