Summer arrives today, but it won't be hot.

Our high temperature under sunny skies will only reach the low 20's.

The average high temperature this time of year would be closer to 25 C.

It will be even chillier by early Friday.

We may start the day in the single digits before warming up to 26 C in the afternoon, with sunshine.

Saturday is looking decently sunny, but a chance of showers starts Saturday evening and lasts the rest of the weekend.
