Expect warm conditions today with intermittent rain risk as a mix of sun and cloud sets the stage for highs near 25°C and a humidex that could make it feel like 26°C. The primary concern for residents planning outdoor activities is a roughly 30 percent chance of showers this afternoon and into early evening.

Current conditions and this afternoon

Morning observations show temperatures in the low 20s with dew points around 15.8°C and relative humidity near 71%. Barometric pressure is steady at about 101.9 kPa and winds are light. Hourly guidance indicates a steady climb through mid‑afternoon, with the thermometer rising from about 18°C at 10 a.m. to roughly 25°C by late afternoon.

Time Temperature
10:00 18°C
12:00 21°C
15:00 24°C
17:00 25°C
20:00 21°C

Short‑term outlook and impacts

There is a modest likelihood of showers this afternoon — meteorological guidance places that probability at about 30 percent. Expect conditions to remain humid and for UV levels to climb into the high (7) category, so sun protection remains advisable even with periods of cloud.

  • High today: 25°C (humidex about 26)
  • Tonight: low near 12°C, partly cloudy with a continued 30 percent chance of early evening showers
  • UV index: 7 — consider sunscreen, hats and limiting midday exposure

Seven‑day snapshot

Near‑term guidance shows a continuation of mild conditions into Saturday, but a wetter trend becomes more likely by Sunday and during the middle of next week:

Day Forecast High / Low
Friday (Tonight) Partly cloudy, small chance of showers Low 12°C
Saturday Mix of sun and cloud; 30% shower chance overnight High 25°C
Low 16°C
Sunday Cloudy with a greater chance of rain High 21°C

Monday Mix of sun and cloud; chance of showers High 25°C
Low 11°C
Tuesday Mostly mixed sun and cloud High 25°C
Low 15°C
Wednesday Cloudy with a good chance of showers High 22°C
Low 16°C

What to plan for

With temperatures close to seasonal norms — daytime highs around 25°C and overnight lows in the low to mid teens — the main travel and outdoor‑activity considerations are short, unpredictable showers and a strong UV index during breaks in the cloud. If you have outdoor plans this afternoon, bring a light waterproof layer and keep sunscreen handy.

  • Carry an umbrella or pack a light rain jacket for brief, scattered showers.
  • Stay hydrated and be mindful of the humidex when doing extended physical activity outdoors.
  • Use broad‑spectrum sunscreen when outside during daylight; UV readings are high.

Sunrise today occurred at 6:19 a.m. and sunset will be around 8:25 p.m. Normal climatological values for this time of year list lows near 13°C and highs near 25°C, indicating temperatures this week are broadly close to typical seasonal levels. Forecasts are based on Environment Canada data.
