Kingston, Ontario, is set to enjoy a stretch of warmer weather this week after a damp and cool start to the day on Monday. Temperatures are expected to climb above normal for late June, bringing comfortable conditions for outdoor plans across the city.
According to Environment Canada, Monday started cool and damp, with the Kingston Airport recording 15.5°C and light rain showers at 2:00 PM, alongside 95% humidity. The daytime high was expected to reach 21°C under cloudy skies. Fog patches are forecast to develop overnight, but those are expected to dissipate by Tuesday morning as a warming trend takes hold.
Tuesday will see a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 25°C. The Humidex is forecast to reach 26, making it feel slightly warmer. The UV index is predicted to hit 8, which is very high, so residents spending time outside should take sun protection measures. Wednesday will stay sunny with another high near 25°C.
A brief interruption is possible on Thursday, with a 40 per cent chance of showers during the day and a 60 per cent chance overnight. Friday also carries a 30 per cent chance of showers. But the warmest day of the week is expected Sunday, when the temperature could hit 27°C under a mix of sun and cloud.
The seasonal warmth is a shift from the cooler conditions that have lingered this spring. According to historical climate data (1991–2020 averages), the average high for June in Kingston is 22.6°C, with a typical low of 13.1°C. The mid- to high-20s forecast means the upcoming days will feel noticeably warmer than what residents have grown used to this month.
No weather alerts or warnings are in effect for the area, meaning conditions should be safe and generally pleasant for outdoor activities. Monday evening also carries a 30 per cent chance of showers, so keeping an umbrella handy through midweek might be a good idea.
