Wednesday's warm, mosquitoes are out, and transit's got detours.
Fifteen degrees, high UV, and a couple of theatre options tonight if you're looking to get out.
Morning. It's 15°C and staying there — layer it if you're heading out early, but you'll warm into it fast. UV's sitting at 7, which is high, so sunscreen's worth grabbing if you're spending the afternoon outside. We're looking at nearly seventeen hours of daylight today, so sunset's not until 9:56 tonight.
If you're taking transit this morning, Route 902 and Route 051 have got detours running today — both heading through the downtown core and the U of A area. Nothing catastrophic, but give yourself a few extra minutes if you're relying on those routes to get across town.
Worth knowing: Alberta's in for a rough mosquito season — the heaviest in decades, according to early reports. All that rain we've had is hatching eggs faster than usual, so don't be surprised if the bugs are worse than you remember them. And if you've been following the Lions Village situation at the seniors home, receivership's now in play over unpaid refunds. Heavy stuff, but worth paying attention to if you've got family involved.
The flood mitigation work downtown is still rolling — we're six years into a twenty-year plan and $1.6 billion in, so if you're wondering why construction feels endless, that's part of it. Long game.
If you're hungry, there's some solid new spots worth trying this summer, and if you're in the mood for sushi, that conversation's worth having locally. There's also a new rooftop patio that just opened at the historic Crawford Building if you're thinking about an evening out with a view.
Tonight, if you're looking to get out of the house: *Clue* is at the Jubilee at 7:30, and *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee* is at the Citadel around the same time. Both solid options depending on what you're in the mood for. Theatre's a good call on a night like this — warm enough to walk, light enough that you won't feel rushed.
Have a good one. See you around.
