Sunshine and Summer Breezes Now — But Showers Sneak In Later

A Crisp Morning, A Sunny Rise

Good morning, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug! As of 6:00 AM, it’s a fresh 8.4°C at Big Trout Lake Airport, with mainly sunny skies and a peaceful start to your Thursday. The humidity is sitting at 100%, so it may feel a touch damp or misty in lower-lying areas. Winds are barely noticeable at 4 km/h from the south-southwest, and visibility is holding strong at 16 km.

The barometric pressure is 102.2 kPa and steady, pointing to stable weather for the day ahead. As the morning progresses, winds will pick up to 20 km/h from the south, ushering in warmer air under clear skies. Expect a high of 24°C this afternoon, with a UV index of 7 — high enough that sun protection is strongly recommended, even with a light breeze.

Tonight and Friday: Clear Skies Now, Cloudy Skies Later

Tonight’s forecast is about as classic summer as it gets — clear and calm, with an overnight low of 13°C. A perfect night to sit under the stars or open the windows without shivering.

Friday brings more sunshine and increasing warmth, with a high of 27°C, a humidex of 29, and continued southerly winds gusting to 40 km/h in the afternoon. It’ll feel noticeably more summery and a little sticky. That heat draws in some moisture, which sets the stage for cloudy periods Friday night and a 30% chance of showers, with temperatures holding steady at 15°C.

Weekend Outlook: Showers Begin to Build

Saturday starts cloudy with a 40% chance of showers, and the high will cool slightly to 24°C, though it’ll still feel muggy. Saturday night continues the unsettled pattern with 60% chance of showers and a low of 13°C.

Sunday remains cloudy, and the chance of rain sticks around at 40%, with a high of 22°C. The night stays cloudy with 30% chance of showers, and the temperature again dips to 13°C.

What to Wear: Layers Now, Sunscreen Later

Start your morning with a sweater or hoodie — it’s crisp out there. By midday, light clothing and UV protection are essential, especially with that high index and southern sun. Winds will pick up in the afternoon, so secure hats and keep water handy. Heading into the weekend, carry a light raincoat or waterproof jacket, just in case one of those passing showers catches you off guard.
