Ten degrees and a fog alert — layer up anyway, Calgary, June 4.
Warmer than yesterday, but haze is sitting in. Catch some Broadway tonight if you're looking for an excuse to get inside.
Good morning. It's 10°C and hazy out there — a solid few degrees warmer than you woke up to yesterday, which is something. There's a fog advisory active, so give yourself extra time on the commute if you're heading into the foothills or anywhere visibility's a concern. Keep an eye on those foothills road conditions if that's your route.
Here's the thing about today: the UV index is sitting at 6, which is high, so even though it feels cool, sunscreen's worth it if you're spending time outside. You'll want a layer — a hoodie or a light jacket — but leave the heavy coat at home. Light holds till 9:45 PM, so you've got a proper long evening to work with.
A few things worth knowing: the data centre boom is picking up speed across Alberta as the AI race heats up, and there's an oil boom underway too, with rigs working overtime. On the education side, keep your eye on school bus fees — they're jumping nearly 40 per cent next year, which is worth thinking about if you've got kids riding the bus. Also worth a heads-up: mosquitoes are likely to spike in the next few weeks after that wet weekend, so maybe stock up on bug spray while you're thinking about it.
Food-wise, if you're looking for lunch or dinner, there's a solid list of donut shops worth the detour this week. June's got some good food and drink options on the calendar too, and Tailgunner Brewing's new cocktail bar opens this month if you're in the mood for something a bit different. Grocery deals are running June 4 to 10, so now's the time to do the weekly shop if you've been putting it off.
This evening, if you're looking for something to do, Broadway's the main event. Come From Away is playing at both Theatre Calgary and The Palace Theatre at 7:30 PM — two venues, same great show, so pick your spot and go. It's a quiet Thursday night otherwise, but the weekend's shaping up nicely: The Black Keys are playing twice, there are matinee Broadways, and a classical night on the slate. Plenty to pick from if you're planning ahead.
Have a good one out there.
