I've been working on a chart for the last couple years tracking degree heating days/degree cooling days for Edmonton. Looking at the entirety available time-span (1881-2024) we are a whole lot warmer than we used to be. Top set is degree cooling days, bottom set is degree heating days

Underscores needing to change a few Operations things (Downtown, BIAs etc):
- Street cleaning needs to happen a month earlier, and end a month later.
- Planting flowers needs to also happen sooner and not be removed until end of September (they fortunately waited this year so maybe that's a good trend).
We can't wait for summer students either to get all this stuff done.

They were also smart with Warehouse Park, using a mixture of native trees and nonnative trees that could be better suited for our warming climate. It's sad we need to do that, but I'm glad they're being proactive.

^Asked them as well for irrigation given hot summers, but they didn't go for it. Other prairie cities have irrigation in their parks.

This is very interesting. Anyone know why ours aren't?

I don't know, but speculating that historically Edmonton has had enough rain and moisture it wasn't needed. It wasn't as hot. Also irrigating a central park where it can be 2-5C hotter wasn't a priority.
