A series of morning showers are expected to give way to a mix of sun and cloud by afternoon. The showers might return in the evening, overnight and Wednesday. That’s how our gardens grow, I guess.
Expect a high of 20 C during the day, with a UV index of 5, or moderate. At night, a low of 13 C.

Meanwhile in B.C.
More and more evacuation orders are being issued in northeastern British Columbia due to wildfires.
The latest came late Monday night, when the Peace River Regional District issued an evacuation order affecting residents around Doig River 206. It’s a small community about 60 kilometres northeast of Fort St. John.
The regional district says people should be grabbing what they needing and going to an evacuation centre in Fort St. John, where help is waiting. This comes as pressure to get residents affecting by wildfires in the area increases, so much so that in Fort Nelson, the mayor of the area says they’ve been calling holdouts directly.
The blaze is one of several burning across the West from Manitoba to B.C.
A fire in the northwestern part of Manitoba is singeing the community of Cranberry Portage and has forced about 550 residents from their homes, while a fire that’s prompted an evacuation alert in Fort McMurray, Alta., appears to be holding about 16 kilometres southeast of the city.
