LONG WEEKEND OUTLOOK

For those of us here in Toronto (and Canada for that matter), Simcoe Day or Civic Day is a holiday. And the outlook is looking fantastic for Toronto!!

That scorching heat and humidity is getting swept out by a cold front, even though, it will still be warm on Saturday with the high around the upper twenties. The air quality will be good to low moderate and the UV index will be quite high, too. The wind direction changes from southerly to northerly, which will make it feel drier than usual, while the AQI will be better. Sunday will be similarly beautiful with just some late day cloudy periods and a high near 28C. A weakening low could bring in some early morning showers for the holiday Monday but it looks like it's going to clear by the afternoon. A huge change will be in the overnight lows. Expect the temperature to drop to a seasonally fresh 17C on Saturday and Sunday mornings so shut down the AC and throw open the windows to enjoy the fresh air.

[Cottage Country]: For those of you up in Cottage Country, it will be cooler in the mornings. With temps on Saturday [morning] hovering around 14C and Sunday to 11C. Afternoons, however, looking great. Keep an eye out for highs around 27C and lots of sun across central Ontario on Saturday and Sunday. Monday brings in cloud cover with a slight risk of morning showers. Highs, though at 28C. Personally, I have no complaints about the long weekend...and we need at least one day of rain after this heat--good time to read, relax and recouperate.

I'll be off on Monday, but blogging again on Tuesday. Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend. Get some rest...we all need it!
