Pembroke, Ontario, is in for an unsettled week of weather, with on-and-off showers and a risk of thunderstorms expected through Friday. Environment Canada is not currently issuing any weather alerts for the area, but residents should be ready for changing conditions, especially during the afternoons.
Monday will be a mix of sun and cloud with a high near 18°C and a northwest wind at 30 km/h. The UV index will reach 7, which is considered high, so sunscreen is a good idea if you’re spending time outside. The night will be partly cloudy with a low around 9°C.
Tuesday is shaping up to be the warmest day of the week with a high of 24°C. However, there is a 40 percent chance of late-afternoon showers and a risk of thunderstorms as the wind shifts to the southwest at 30 km/h. The UV index will again be high at 7.
The middle of the week keeps the unsettled pattern going. Wednesday brings a 60 percent chance of showers or thunderstorms and a high of 21°C. Thursday looks wetter, with showers likely and a cooler high of 18°C. Friday also has a 60 percent chance of showers and a high near 18°C. Overnight lows through the period will generally fall between 9°C and 13°C.
As of 2:00 p.m. Monday, conditions at the Garrison Petawawa observation site showed cloudy skies and a temperature of 16°C, with humidity at 57 percent and a west wind at 15 km/h.
This week’s hit-or-miss weather lines up with the broader summer outlook from Environment Canada. In a seasonal forecast released June 5, experts predicted warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of Canada and a shift toward El Niño conditions through the summer.
