Beach day in Kuujjuaq

Summer’s here in Kuujjuaq, so that means it’s time to hit the beach. People took advantage of Thursday’s 18 C temperatures to head for the water. The weekend forecast in Kuujjuaq calls for a high of 22 C on Friday and 25 C on Saturday before dropping back to mid-teen temperatures on Sunday and the start of next week.
