🌤️ This Week's Weather at a Glance
MON: 21°C 📈 | 9°C 📉 (⛅ Mainly cloudy, clearing in the afternoon)
TUE: 22°C 📈 | 18°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud, 60% chance of showers overnight)
WED: 25°C 📈 | 11°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud)
THU: 23°C 📈 | 12°C 📉 (🌧️ Cloudy, 40% chance of showers)
FRI: 19°C 📈 | 8°C 📉 (⛅ Mix of sun and cloud)
SAT: 19°C 📈 | 12°C 📉 (🌧️ Chance of a shower, 60%)
SUN: 18°C 📈 | 13°C 📉 (⛅ Mainly cloudy, 40% chance of showers)
The TL;DR: Wednesday is your best day — 25°C and a decent mix of sun. Friday brings the coolest air of the week just as Terry Fox Park opens and the Cultural Festival and Mulock Park celebrations kick off, so dress in layers for the evening events. Saturday's 60% shower chance is worth watching for the Parkette concert and Cultural Festival's outdoor day. Sunday leans cloudy with a lower 40% risk — good enough for the Terry Fox Run and both farmers' markets, just keep a light jacket handy.
