Regina residents can expect a sunny and warm Monday with temperatures reaching 22°C before wetter conditions move in for the rest of the week. Environment Canada reports mainly sunny skies this afternoon at Regina International Airport, with a temperature of 17.6°C as of late morning and southwest winds gusting up to 55 km/h.
The forecast calls for clearing skies and a high of 22°C, along with a UV index of 7, which is considered high. That means anyone spending time outside should cover up, wear sunglasses, and use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, especially during the midday hours.
No weather alerts are in effect for the area, but the outlook changes quickly starting tonight. There is a 60 percent chance of showers on Tuesday afternoon, with a risk of thunderstorms and a humidex value near 25. More unsettled weather is likely through mid-week, with cloudy skies and cooler temperatures in the high teens to low twenties lasting into Friday before conditions gradually improve toward the weekend.
This pattern is typical for early June in southern Saskatchewan, which is usually the wettest month of the year. Afternoon thunderstorms are common as summer settles in. The Weather Network recently released its summer outlook, calling for near-normal temperatures and below-normal rainfall this season across the Regina region.
The warm and sunny start to the week offers a good window for outdoor plans, but residents should keep an eye on the forecast for changing conditions later in the week.
