The weekend is here and it’s going to be a hot one again!

Temperatures will be in the mid-to-high 20’s for many island communities; inland it’ll be even hotter. If you’re a sun worshipper you’ll be pleased to know the clear skies stick around though next week, and so do the warm temperatures.

Keep in mind that the strength of the sun’s ultraviolet rays will be high to very high (UV index of 7-8) during that time.

If you’re going to be spending time outdoors, it’s a good idea to look at the UV index before you go so you and the family have a fun, sunburn-free weekend.

Here’s the UV index, what it means and some tips from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Have a great weekend!
