Colwood residents can look forward to a warm and sunny start to the week. Environment Canada is forecasting clear skies for Monday and Tuesday, with daytime highs reaching 24°C and Humidex values climbing to 27-29. That’s a few degrees above the late August norm of 21°C, making for ideal conditions for outdoor plans in the Greater Victoria area.
The forecast calls for sunny conditions both days. Monday brings north winds at 20 km/h, while Tuesday’s winds shift to southeast at 20 km/h gusting to 40. The UV index is expected to be 6, which is high, so sun protection is a good idea. By Tuesday afternoon, skies will become a mix of sun and cloud.
Conditions will cool slightly through the rest of the week. Wednesday brings a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 20°C, while Thursday is expected to be cloudy with a 60 percent chance of showers and a high of 18°C. Friday and the weekend will see a return to partly sunny skies with temperatures near 20°C.
At 11:00 a.m. on Monday, Victoria Harbour reported mainly sunny conditions at 16.1°C with 82 percent humidity and light southwest winds. The warm stretch marks a pleasant break before more typical late-summer weather settles in.
