Coastal Fire Weather Forecast

OUTLOOK: Sunday to Tuesday: Sunday will be sunny and very warm as a sharp surface thermal trough lies over Vancouver Island. Moderate outflow winds will persist along the Mainland. Likely smoky on Sunday with the outflow continuing. Highs will be in the low 30’s with minimum RHs in the upper teens and 20s. Likely only fair recoveries on Sunday morning. No lightning forecast.Monday will still be mainly sunny and warm in the south. But the pattern starts to change as a deep upper low swings down from Haida Gwaii towards northern Vancouver Island. The airmass will become unstable and isolated showers or thundershowers will develop in the afternoon. Winds will switch from N-NE outflow to a SW inflow late in the day. On Tuesday the upper low gets closer to the Island and more widespread showers develop, possibly reaching the far southern zones. Still a risk for embedded lightning. Cooling to seasonal temps with inflow winds; much higher RHs

The saga continues in the seaquarium this week, and it’s your last chance to see the drama unfold! We’ll be releasing the species next week, so come by this Saturday to check on our very hungry and growing heart crab, the neon nudibranchs, and (my favourite!) the elusive green gunnels.

Sunday, August 20

Healing Plant Connections With Marcia & Ian (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62

Immerse yourself in the tranquil embrace of nature as we explore the profound relationship between humans and plants at the Peoples Apothecary Garden, delving into the spiritual and holistic dimensions that bind us. Marcia and Ian have created a deck of cards with mediations & visualizations that correspond to different plants & animals on Thetis Island which they have created a workshop based on.
For those who are not able to attend the event and are interested in exploring these cards, a deck can now be found at the Thetis Island library!
2:00 pm start
S4: Cultural Ecology Talk and Indigenous Plant Walk (all ages)

This event is hosted by the Nature House and Nature Stewards Program with funding from the Island Trust Conservancy.

Anchor Dropped Overboard at North Cove

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Has anyone found a small, foldable anchor off North Cove beach? It was lost last week (~Thurs). During low tide we went looking for it, but of course found nothing. 

If you found it, please call Remy at 250 246 3469.
