Recent trend
A direct year-over-year change comparison is not available for 2026 (YTD, through Jul) because the annual time series for this selection currently contains only a single year. In the headline selected period, 285 dated incidents have been recorded. Across the full on-disk archive for Wetaskiwin, the dataset spans 2026 with a total of 310 incidents recorded to date. Because the 2026 calendar year remains open and incomplete through July, evaluating annual growth or percentage shifts against prior years requires full multi-year annual baseline data, which is not present in this reporting window.
