Today in Thunder Bay: The city is basking in sunshine today, with temperatures gradually climbing from a cool 14°C this morning to a warm 22°C by late afternoon.

It’s a great day to be outdoors, whether you’re enjoying a walk at Marina Park, just remember to pay the parking fee. Or stroll along the walkway by Boulevard Lake just soaking up the sun.

Winds are light, coming from the southeast at around 10 km/h, keeping things comfortable without being too gusty.

Tonight: As the evening sets in, temperatures will start to cool down, reaching around 9°C by early Wednesday morning. The skies will remain mostly clear, with just a few clouds drifting by, and the winds will stay gentle, making for a calm and pleasant night.

Historical Note: Thunder Bay experienced its hottest August 20 on record back in 1976, with a scorching 30.6°C. Today’s temperatures are far more comfortable, perfect for late-summer activities!

What to Wear

With the sunny skies and mild breeze, lightweight clothing is ideal during the day. However, a light jacket or sweater might be needed if you’re out in the evening as temperatures drop.

Weather Trivia

Did you know? Thunder Bay holds the record for one of the coolest August nights with temperatures dropping as low as 0.6°C on this date in 1949—a far cry from today’s milder evening.
