Aurora, Ontario, is in for a warm and changeable week. Environment Canada’s forecast for July 20 to 25, 2026, shows some days feeling hot under sunny skies, while others will bring cloud and a risk of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Monday kicked off the week sunny with a high of 25°C. When you factor in the humidity, it felt more like 27. The UV index reached 9, which is very high. That means sunburns can happen quickly, especially between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., so residents should use sunscreen, wear sunglasses, and find some shade.

Tuesday looks like the day that could pack the biggest punch. The forecast calls for cloudy conditions with showers starting in the morning and a risk of thunderstorms. Winds could gust to 50 km/h, and rainfall amounts are expected to be between 10 and 15 mm. The Weather Network gives an 80 percent chance of strong thunderstorms in the afternoon, with a humidex making it feel near 29°C. Wednesday will also bring a chance of showers, but conditions may start to ease.

Aurora gets a break on Thursday and Friday. Both days look sunny with highs around 26°C and clear nights, offering nice summer weather heading into the weekend.

With thunder in the forecast, lightning safety is crucial. If you hear thunder, you are within striking distance and should head indoors right away. According to Environment Canada, lightning kills two to three Canadians and injures about 180 others each year, often outside of the main storm.

Residents can stay on top of changes by checking Environment Canada for updates and alerts.
