Thunder Bay – Weather – If you ever think climate change isn’t happening, consider that the wide swings in our weather are a solid indication that it is real.
Only a few days ago, we were setting record high temperatures. This morning there are frost advisories in parts of the region.

Frost may damage some crops in frost-prone areas.
With clear and calm conditions prevailing early this morning some areas are expected to reach a minimum temperature around the zero degree Celsius mark. If any frost were to form this morning it should be brief and patchy as temperatures should recover relatively quickly after sunrise.
