Weather Trivia:
Kenora is no stranger to extreme fall weather. In October 1984, the temperature dropped to -2°C, while just a few years earlier in 1961, the town enjoyed a balmy 28°C on October 1. This variability is a hallmark of fall in Northwestern Ontario, making the weather quite unpredictable.
Stay warm and safe, whether you’re exploring the fall foliage or cruising across Lake of the Woods!
