Clouds Clear the Way for a Classic Northwestern Ontario Weekend
Thursday: Foggy Edges, Friendly Skies
Sioux Lookout starts this Thursday, June 12, on a cool and misty note. At 7:00 AM CDT, the temperature is 6.3°C at the Sioux Lookout Airport, with skies mostly cloudy and a damp feeling in the air. Humidity is high at 91%, and a light east-northeast wind at 8 km/h is gently stirring the early morning calm. Visibility is good at 24 km, and pressure is on the rise at 102.5 kPa — a good sign for clearing skies.
There’s a 30% chance of showers this morning, but conditions will improve as the day unfolds. Expect a mix of sun and cloud by midday and a high of 17°C. With a UV index of 7, sunscreen is a must once the sun breaks through. The day may start cool, but it’ll feel like summer by afternoon.
Tonight: Clear Skies and Comfortable Air
Tonight will be clear and calm with a low of 6°C. Great for evening walks, campfires, or just enjoying some bug-free porch time. Light winds and low humidity make for excellent sleeping weather.
Friday Through Sunday: A Golden Forecast
Friday continues the upward trend with a mix of sun and cloud and a warmer high of 21°C. The UV index remains high at 7, so if you’re working or playing outside, don’t forget the sunscreen. Friday night brings some cloudy periods and a mild low of 8°C.
Saturday will be sunny and splendid, with a high of 23°C and light winds — perfect for boating, biking, or BBQing. The night will stay clear and comfortable with a low of 10°C.
Sunday brings another day of full sunshine, again hitting a high of 23°C. Sunday night brings a 30% chance of showers, with a low of 12°C — but the timing looks late enough that it shouldn’t rain on your Sunday parade.
What to Wear
Start with a light jacket this morning, but you’ll be down to short sleeves by afternoon. With strong sunshine expected through the weekend, sunglasses and sunscreen should be standard gear. And yes, it’s finally sandal weather — at least until the sun goes down.

Sioux Lookout has seen it all on June 12. The record high for the date is a toasty 30.5°C, recorded back in 1991. On the flip side, the record low was a brisk 1.1°C in 1967. This year, we’re sitting comfortably in the middle — a picture-perfect stretch of spring turning the corner into summer.
