Today’s Dish: Sunny with a Side of Smoke

Good morning, Sioux Lookout! Rise and shine with the sun, which promises to dominate the skies today. But wait, there’s more… or less.

And for all you flag-fliers, the wind’s gearing up for a southwest sweep, reaching speeds of 20 km/h and showing off with gusts up to 40 km/h by late morning. Thermometer’s aiming high with a reading of 25°C, but with Mr. Humidex joining the party, it’s gonna feel more like 27°C. Also, today’s UV is rocking a solid 7, so sunscreen and shades are your BFFs.
