THUNDER BAY - WEATHER - Thunder Bay is beginning Tuesday under mostly cloudy skies, with gusty northwesterly winds and humid early-morning conditions. A few showers remain possible through early afternoon, while local smoke may continue to create hazy conditions. Skies should gradually clear tonight before warmer weather returns Wednesday. Today’s Weather Overview Current Conditions At 6:39 a.m. EDT, Thunder Bay Airport reported a temperature of 18°C under mostly cloudy skies. Humidity stood at 84 per cent, with a dew point of 15.3°C, giving the morning a somewhat damp feel. The barometric pressure was 100.1 kPa and rising.

Local smoke is also expected. Northerly winds will strengthen to 30 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching 60 km/h during the morning. The temperature will remain nearly steady at 20°C. The UV index is forecast to reach 5, or moderate, meaning sun protection is still recommended even with substantial cloud cover. Tonight, the clouds should begin clearing late in the evening. Local smoke will remain possible. Northwest winds of 30 km/h, gusting to 50, will become light during the evening. The overnight low will fall to a cool 10°C.

Strong wind gusts may make the temperature feel cooler, particularly near Lake Superior and in exposed areas. Secure loose hats and other outdoor items. Long pants and closed footwear will provide comfort during the cooler evening, when temperatures begin dropping toward 10°C. Keep an umbrella nearby, although strong gusts may make a hooded rain jacket more practical. Wednesday will be warm enough for lighter summer clothing during the afternoon, but a thin jacket may still be useful during the breezy morning. Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat are recommended because the UV index will be high. For Thursday and Friday, plan for warm-weather clothing while keeping a compact umbrella or rain jacket available for possible showers. Residents sensitive to smoke should also check the latest Air Quality Health Index before extended outdoor activity.
