Wednesday's mild, a touch of sun, and live music tonight.
13 degrees, high UV, and Greeicy at The Palace if you're keen—plus a few things brewing in town you should know.
Morning. It's 13 and partly cloudy out there, which is honestly fine for late July. The UV's sitting at 7, so if you're spending the afternoon outside—parks, patio lunch, wherever—sunscreen's worth the two seconds. You've got a full 15.5 hours of daylight, so sunset won't creep up until 9:27 PM. Plan accordingly if you're thinking of an evening walk or sitting outside somewhere.
No major road closures or commute chaos flagged for today, so you should be good on the usual routes. If you're heading toward the foothills, conditions are fine—check the cameras if you're curious, but nothing to reroute around.
Couple of things worth knowing: the school board's gearing up for fall with nearly 2,000 new students coming in, and they're adding 46 modular classrooms plus a brand new school to handle it. Also happening today—folks with disabilities are marching on Stephen Avenue over cuts and delayed payments, so if you're downtown, you might see that. On a tougher note, there was a fatal CTrain incident at Shaganappi station. No other details, but it's worth knowing.
If you're thinking food, there's some good stuff happening. Starbucks rolled out Orange Cream drinks starting today if you're into that—grab one on your coffee run. If you're planning something nicer, there's afternoon tea popping up around town at a few spots with proper patios and flowers if you want to lean into the good weather. An Sang just landed on the Red Mile too, bringing Vietnamese breakfast to that stretch, which is worth a try. And Grey Eagle's Buffet is staying open through the end of the year despite some renovation plans, so if you've been meaning to go, there's no rush to make it happen this week.
Tonite: Greeicy's playing The Palace at 7 if you're feeling live Latin music. It's a Wednesday, so the night's got some momentum if you want to get out. The weather's mild enough that you could grab dinner and drinks and not freeze, though nothing's really outdoor-exclusive at that venue.
See you around. Stay sorted.
