Sidney is in for a stretch of pleasant summer weather this week, with Environment Canada forecasting largely sunny skies and daytime highs climbing to 25 C by Wednesday, though Thursday will bring some cloud.
The Environment Canada forecast shows temperatures starting at 23 C on Monday and rising to 25 C by Wednesday. Overnight lows will settle near 13 C, making for comfortable sleeping conditions. After a slight dip on Thursday, the weekend is expected to warm up again with plenty of sun.
These temperatures are at or slightly above the average high of 22 C for mid-July in Sidney. No weather alerts are in effect, and the clear conditions offer an ideal chance to enjoy outdoor activities from the Lochside Trail to Sidney Spit.
The UV index will reach 7 on Monday, which is considered high, and climb to 8 or very high on Tuesday. Health officials recommend using SPF 30+ sunscreen and wearing protective clothing when spending time outdoors.
With July being the driest month on the Saanich Peninsula, residents can expect little to no rain interruption this week. The stretch of weather makes it a great time to visit local attractions or take a ferry trip from nearby Swartz Bay.
