Warmth Returns After a Cool Start — Summer’s Sneaking In, One Ray at a Time
Saturday: Clearing Skies After a Damp Dawn
It’s a moist and misty morning in Sioux Lookout this Saturday, June 14. As of 5:00 AM CDT at the Sioux Lookout Airport, the temperature is a cool 5.4°C, with a dew point of 5.2°C — meaning the air is nearly saturated at 99% humidity. Fog may be lingering in some low-lying areas, but with visibility at 24 km and pressure rising at 102.3 kPa, we’re on the upswing toward a clearer, warmer day.
Partly cloudy skies will clear this morning, making way for sunshine and a high of 22°C by the afternoon. Winds are currently light from the south at 4 km/h, but that’ll pick up slightly later. The UV index is 8, classified as very high, so don’t let early clouds fool you — sunscreen, hats, and shades are essential if you’re heading outdoors.
Tonight: Calm and Comfortable
Tonight will be partly cloudy early, then clearing after midnight. A pleasant low of 9°C makes for ideal sleeping conditions or a comfortable evening walk to wind down your day.
Sunday: Sunny with a Summer Twist
Sunday kicks off with mainly sunny skies and a gentle breeze that becomes south at 20 km/h in the afternoon. The temperature will rise to 23°C, but with the humidex pushing it to 26°C, it’ll feel a few degrees toastier than the thermometer reads. Again, the UV index remains at a strong 8, so sun protection is still non-negotiable.
Sunday night will feature cloudy periods with a mild low of 13°C, so no need to haul out extra blankets — just a light layer will do.
Monday: Cloudier and a Bit Wet?
Monday brings a mix of sun and cloud, and a 40% chance of showers, both during the day and into the evening. The high will stay around 22°C, but things might feel a bit more unsettled as weather systems start shifting. It’s the kind of day where a rain jacket or compact umbrella might come in handy — just in case.
What to Wear
Start your Saturday with a hoodie or light jacket, especially with the damp chill lingering early. By midday, transition to breathable clothing and don’t forget your sunglasses and SPF. Sunday’s added humidex means tank tops and shorts are in play — just be ready for the breeze. Monday’s cloudier outlook might have you dressing in light layers, but don’t stash away the rain gear.
Historic Weather Trivia
On June 14, Sioux Lookout has recorded a record high of 31.3°C, showing it’s no stranger to early summer heat. The record low? A frosty 0.2°C, set decades ago. This morning’s 5°C isn’t quite that cold, but it’s a firm reminder that in Northern Ontario, even mid-June can surprise you with a little morning chill.
