Today’s Forecast: Warm with a Smoky Haze
Regina is in for a warm day, with temperatures rising to 28°C. However, the day won’t be all clear skies—smoke from distant wildfires will create a hazy atmosphere. Winds will be coming from the northwest at 20 km/h, giving the air a bit of movement, but not enough to clear the smoke entirely. As the day progresses, the temperature will peak around 29°C, with the haze persisting into the evening. Tonight, expect a mild drop to 17°C, under partly cloudy skies.
Looking Ahead: Stable Conditions with More Sun
As we move through the week, Regina will enjoy mostly sunny weather with temperatures hovering around 25-27°C. The smoky conditions are expected to clear up gradually, giving way to more typical summer sunshine. No significant rain is in the forecast, so outdoor plans should be good to go.
