Dressing for the Weather

Climate

 
According to Environment Canada, Calgary and area is typically dry with the largest amount of rainfall during the spring months. Although the mountain areas receive significant amounts of snow in the winter, Calgary often receives only a very moderate snowfall. That said, we have been known to experience sudden snowfalls as late as May or June (often near the time of the conference)!

What to Wear

Calgary weather in May is very unpredictable.  Be sure to bring a warm jacket, clothing that can be layered and boots.  The average spring temperature is 10°C (50°F).  But, we do have an extensive network of +15s that will get you anywhere you need to go downtown with little exposure to elements if we do get a cold spell.
