Looking Ahead: A Taste of Spring?
Monday will start off sunny before some afternoon clouds move in. The southwest wind will ease up a little, staying around 20 km/h. The high will rise to 7°C, making it a great day to get outside. The UV index nudges up to 4, so sunglasses and a little sunscreen might come in handy. Monday night will be clear with a low of +3°C.
Tuesday continues the warming trend with full sunshine and a high of 10°C—a definite sign that spring is inching closer! However, the night will bring cloudy periods and a dip to -3°C, so don’t pack away those warm layers just yet.
Wednesday will be a mix of sun and clouds with a slightly cooler high of 2°C, while the night will hover around +1°C with continued cloud cover.
What to Wear?
With gusty winds and chilly wind chills today, a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat are still a must. If you’re heading out tonight, the milder temperatures mean a lighter jacket might be enough. For the week ahead, layers are key—you might start off bundled up but need to shed a layer by midday as temperatures rise.
