Here's how hot it will be in Barrie on Wednesday
Wednesday is the fourth day of June, and it is finally starting to feel like it. Environment Canada is forecasting a humidex above 30 degrees on Wednesday and hazy skies due to smoke from the northwestern wildfires. According to the weather agency, Barrie's temperatures will reach a high of 28 degrees with a humidex of 33 and a 'very high' UV index of eight. Their 'normal' June 4 high for the city is 22 degrees. Environmental Canada is also forecasting an air quality risk of five out of ten for Barrie, which they consider to be a 'moderate' risk. Hazy skies from wildfire smoke are expected to continue, which the weather agency says may obscure the sky's visibility and clarity. No official alerts are in effect. Possible showers with the risk of a thunderstorm are in the forecast for Wednesday afternoon and evening.
