Midweek Brilliance in Sioux Lookout with More Warmth on the Way
Morning Mist Makes Way for a Glorious Day
Sioux Lookout starts this Wednesday morning wrapped in a soft layer of fog and partly cloudy skies, with a current temperature of 14.2°C. The air is damp but not oppressive, with 88% humidity lending that fresh, dewy feel to everything from dock planks to your morning newspaper (if it survived the mist). Winds are barely stirring from the south-southwest at 4 km/h, and visibility stretches a broad 24 km — once the fog patches burn off, expect great views in all directions.
The barometric pressure is at 102.3 kPa and rising, a clear sign that fair weather is solidly in control. As fog fades and clouds clear, today shapes up beautifully with a high of 21°C, and a UV index of 8, which is considered very high. So even though the temperature feels mild, the sun is packing a punch — hats and sunscreen are highly recommended if you’re venturing outdoors.
Tonight Through the Weekend: Clear Nights and Climbing Highs
Tonight will be clear and calm, with a low of 10°C — perfect for sleeping with the windows open or spending some time stargazing if the mosquitoes allow it.
Thursday keeps the good times rolling. Expect sunshine in the morning, with a mix of sun and cloud arriving in the afternoon. The day warms up significantly with a high of 25°C and a humidex of 29, making it feel quite summery. Thursday night will remain clear with a low of 12°C.
Friday brings a repeat performance with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 23°C, followed by another clear and pleasant night with a low of 14°C.
Saturday heats up further with a high of 28°C, though a 30% chance of showers may keep things interesting. Saturday night grows cloudier with a 40% chance of showers and a mild low of 16°C.
What to Wear: Morning Layers, Afternoon Summer Gear
You’ll want a light jacket or sweater to start your day — the morning fog and cooler air will have a bit of a chill. But by noon, it’s t-shirt and sunglasses territory. With the UV index hitting 8, don’t forget the sunscreen, especially if you’re headed out on the water or doing anything outdoors. Keep that bug spray handy for the evening, just in case.
