Trade Days Time Remaining

Canton First Monday Trade Days is mostly an outdoor experience. There are some fully climate controlled areas such as Canton Marketplace and Canton Civic Center, among others, where one can find some respite from cold, heat, and/or rain. The multiple covered pavilions allow an escape from the direct sun and also provide cover from precipitation. By and large, however, an avid shopper at Canton First Monday is at the mercy of the Texas weather and it’s best to be prepared.

As the premier shopping guide for Canton, TX and all things First Monday Trade Days, the Canton Shopping Guide is constantly looking at ways to improve its website for the benefit of shoppers. Helping shoppers is the whole reason the Canton Shopping Guide was created. From the most comprehensive vendor and business list on the web for the entire Canton, TX area to vendor reviews to weekly blog posts that are entertaining and informative, the Canton Shopping Guide focuses on connecting shoppers with all aspects of Canton, TX.

Canton, TX Weather Added to the Canton Shopping Guide 

A new addition to the Canton Shopping Guide is the Canton, TX weather forecast, which is most certainly helpful to have for the best shopping experience at Canton First Monday Trade Days. While searching the First Monday vendor listings, click on the Weather in the menu bar of the Canton Shopping Guide and the forecast and current conditions are immediately available. The weather and the website widget are provided by WillyWeather, which uses NOAA data for the weather forecast at Canton, TX.

The Canton Shopping Guide is the only Canton, TX area vendor and business listing website that is mobile friendly. That means that while exploring Canton and First Monday Trade Days, all the vendor and weather information is easily available on a mobile device and presented in a mobile friendly format automatically.

Forecast Overview

Clicking the Weather from the Canton Shopping Guide menu bar brings up the weather widget page where the general weather and forecast is presented. The current temperature along with the forecast low and high feature prominently in the center. The information is updated approximately every 20 minutes and the time of the last update is directly beneath the temperature. There’s also a summary statement about the forecast for the day which includes the chance for rain. Additional information available on this screen is the wind, dew point, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, and humidity.

The dew point is what dictates how “muggy” it feels. The relative humidity does play a part, but the dew point allows for a consistent understanding of how it will feel. Dew points between roughly 40F and 55 F are comfortable. Once the dew point goes above 55 F, rest assured it will start feeling sticky and muggy. At 65 F, it starts to get uncomfortable and at 70 F, it becomes downright brutal. There’s more science to this, but keeping this in mind will give an idea of what it really feels like at Canton First Monday Trade Days.

Other weather related menu options that are available are Wind, Rain, Sun, Moon, and UV.

Wind

Maybe the wind does not appear immediately applicable to shopping in Canton, TX, but knowing the wind can be of use sometimes. The wind direction can help provide an idea of what the weather may be like. A south/southeast wind is usually associated with heat and humidity whereas a north wind means cooler, crisper air. Other uses could be for wind related activities. Maybe the kids have asked to fly a kite that they purchased at First Monday Trade Days with some gift money. Head to the Canton Shopping Guide, click the weather, and there’s the wind and wind forecast for Canton, TX. Couldn’t be any easier.

Rain

Rain is probably the single most effective atmospheric element at applying a damper to a weekend of Canton Trade Days shopping. That is, unless, proper preparations are taken. Any preparation begins with knowing when it will rain. Armed with that knowledge the appropriate rain gear can be packed so that a little rain doesn’t soak everyone and everything. Click on the umbrella icon of the weather widget and the chances for rain in Canton, TX for the upcoming week are displayed in an easy to read format. No need to enter the city or zip code. It’s configured to automatically show the forecast for Canton, TX. And with NOAA data providing the basis for the forecast, it’s a sure thing that it will be reliable.

Sun

This option shows the first light, sunrise, sunset, and last light times for Canton, TX. Admittedly, this doesn’t help much with First Monday Trade Days itself as the main grounds open after sunrise and close before last light. But, if taking a stroll through the downtown of the Walking Capital of Texas after a day of Trade Days shopping, it might be useful to know when sunset is to head over to one of the Canton area lakes and end the day with a sunset over the water.

Moon

Just like the sun data, but for the moon. The moon certainly affects the tides on earth, but it is thought that it also affects much more than that. Crazy things happen during a full moon. The stock market is seen to exhibit a lunar effect. (There’s really data on this!) Some fishermen time their casts on the lunar cycle. Maybe, the best deals at Canton Trade Days are available during a New Moon. If nothing else, having the moon phases will make the weekend more interesting and could even make for good conversation. For a little moon terminology defined, look no further than the trusty Farmers’ Almanac.

UV

The sun is known to be a benefit to health. People on average feel better on sunny days than on cloudy, overcast days. Human skin uses the sun to produce vitamin D. In fact, it is UV radiation in sunlight that causes the production of this necessary vitamin. Of course, too much UV radiation is also responsible for sunburns and, over the long term, accelerated skin aging as well as being associated with skin cancer. As with most things in life moderation of UV exposure is the key. No one wants to end a beautiful day in Canton with a sunburn. The UV screen on the Canton Shopping Guide weather widget provides a simple numeric and color coded indication of the UV safety index so necessary protection from the sun can be taken.

The weather widget is just on more way the Canton Shopping Guide is the best website for shoppers in the Canton area. “Weather” searching for a particular vendor, an item, or if its going to rain, make sure the Canton Shopping Guide is saved as a favorite in your desktop or mobile browser.
