Haines Junction residents can expect a mix of sun and cloud on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, with a high of 17°C, right at the seasonal norm, according to Environment Canada.

The best day for outdoor plans will be Friday, August 28, when Environment Canada is forecasting full sun and a high of 18°C. Overnight temperatures will dip to a low of 5°C. The sun will also help brighten the last stretch of Kluane National Park and Reserve’s 2026 visitor season. The visitor centre in Haines Junction is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through September 20, while Parks Canada’s discounted Canada Strong Pass camping promotion runs until September 7.
