Bay Roberts is in for a stretch of sunny skies and mild temperatures after today’s rain clears out, according to Environment Canada. As of Monday afternoon, light drizzle and fog have been hanging over the town, but conditions are expected to improve quickly.
Rain should end near midnight as northwest winds pick up, gusting to 50 km/h. Overnight lows will drop to 3°C. By Tuesday morning, skies will clear, and the high will reach 18°C inland, though coastal areas may stay closer to 12°C. The UV index will be 7, which is considered high, so people spending time outside should take precautions. Tuesday night will bring clear skies with a low of 5°C, though low-lying areas could see temperatures near 0°C.
Wednesday will bring more sunshine and a high of 17°C, giving residents a good window for outdoor plans. That evening, clouds will start to roll back in, and there is a 40 percent chance of showers overnight. The nicer weather is a brief break before a sharp cooldown later in the week, with Thursday staying cloudy and a high of only 7°C. Friday and the weekend are likely to bring more showers.
Marine conditions near Bay Roberts remain calm, with no watches or warnings in effect for the East Coast – Cape St. Francis and south region. Seas are around one to two metres, and winds will ease as they veer from south 20 knots to southwest 10-15, then northwest 10-15 this evening. Farther offshore, a low pressure system is moving across Newfoundland, but gale warnings are only in place for waters well away from the local coast.
The Canadian Ice Service reports there are 10 to 25 icebergs in waters near Newfoundland right now, so boaters should keep an eye out even in calm conditions. June normals for Bay Roberts are a high of 15°C and a low of 5°C, which puts the coming sunny days slightly above average before the temperature drops Thursday.
