What drives Edson’s weather patterns?
Edson sits in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, giving it a humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. Its elevation above 900 metres often leads to rapid changes, and nearby mountains can create local weather effects. Edmonton weather frequently influences conditions along the Yellowhead, but Edson’s higher elevation produces its own variations.
