Sun Protective Clothing

I have just obtained some sun protective fabric and will have a couple of children’s items for sale on my stall at the Summer Market. This fabric is UPF50 which means that the protection from the sun’s harmful rays is 98%. The fabric is light, cool to the touch, and moisture wicking. While I only have a couple of different prints at the moment, other prints and solids are available if there is sufficient interest and I can also make adult sun protective tops. Drop by my stall at the Summer Market at Howling Wolf Farm to check it out.

Weather Forecast: Coastal Fire Centre

Thurs-Fri: A ridge of high pressure offshore and wrapping itself into the NE portion of the province will keep temperatures seasonal or higher for the next couple of days. A steady flow of short-wave trough of low pressure will create thunderstorm activity. Storms are expected Friday afternoon and into the overnight period. Unstable conditions persist through the weekend with storms expected in parts of the Coastal Fire Centre each afternoon/evening.

Sat-Mon: Return to seasonal temperatures. The thermal trough should break down and move out of the fire centre Saturday afternoon, return to a SW flow with some stronger gusts expected both Saturday and Sunday.

Fire Danger Class

We are creeping very close to EXTREME Fire Danger Class. We will continue in HIGH for the next day or two, but we urge you to mow your lawns or do your chainsawing etc. (High Hazard Activities) early in the morning when the humidity is still high. Finish up before noon at the latest to be safe, and always have a hose or water source handy. You must post a two-hour fire watch afterwards, so sit back with a lemonade and sandwich and think about the November rains to come.
