A Sizzling Start to September with Stormy Surprises
Monday, September 1: Sun, Storms, and Soggy Sneakers?
THUNDER BAY – WEATHER – Thunder Bay is kicking off September in dramatic fashion, flirting with both sunshine and storms. Today brings a mix of sun and cloud with a 30 percent chance of showers and a risk of a thunderstorm.
Morning fog patches will lift as the sun takes the spotlight, helping temperatures climb to a toasty high of 26°C, but it’ll feel even hotter with a humidex of 32.
Don’t forget the sunscreen – the UV index is 6, which falls in the “high” range.
This morning, Environment Canada reports the humidity at 88%, a barometric pressure of 101.4 kPa, and winds blowing in gently from the south at 9 km/h. It’s muggy, it’s sticky, and it’s a bit unpredictable.
For wardrobe tips? Lightweight and breathable is key for today, with an umbrella on standby. Footwear that won’t be ruined by a rogue puddle is also a wise pick.
Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a continued 30 percent chance of showers early in the evening and that ever-lingering risk of a thunderstorm. Fog patches are expected to reform overnight, adding a misty vibe to the late-night hours. The low drops to a more refreshing 11°C.
Tuesday, September 2: Bright Start, Damp Finish
Tuesday brings a beautiful daytime break – sunny skies and a high of 24°C make it the perfect day to enjoy the outdoors before the weather takes another turn. However, clouds roll in by the evening with a 60 percent chance of showers, and the temperature dips once again to 11°C overnight.
Wednesday, September 3: Fall Sneaks In
Wednesday gives us a real preview of autumn with overcast skies and a 60 percent chance of showers throughout the day. Temperatures take a noticeable dip, only reaching a high of 14°C, so it’s time to bring those light sweaters back into rotation.

Looking Ahead to Thursday, September 4
Cloudy skies dominate once again, with a 40 percent chance of showers and a high of only 11°C. The night remains cloudy with a 30 percent chance of more rain and a low of 6°C.
Did You Know?
Thunder Bay once recorded a sweltering 33.3°C on this date back in 1949, while the chilliest September 1 saw the mercury drop to a brisk 1.7°C in 1967. That’s a weather range worthy of a costume change!
