Brisk Morning, Sunny Skies, and a Weekend Soaker
Sudbury starts the day on a chilly note, with temperatures at -7.4°C and a biting south wind at 17 km/h, making it feel like -14°C. The humidity sits at 73%, and with a falling barometric pressure of 101.5 kPa, change is in the air. Fortunately, the sun is stepping in to brighten the day, with mainly sunny skies and a high of 5°C this afternoon. The wind will shift to the southwest at 20 km/h, helping to usher in some milder air, but the wind chill sits at a brisk -17°C this morning, so bundle up before heading out! The UV index is moderate at 4, so sunglasses wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Tonight, expect a few clouds with light winds up to 15 km/h. The temperature will dip to -4°C, with a wind chill of -7°C overnight, making for a cool but calm evening.
Mild Friday Before a Rainy Weekend
Friday brings a mix of sun and cloud with another warm-up to 11°C—a welcome hint of spring! The morning, however, will still be chilly, with a wind chill of -8°C. The UV index rises slightly to 5 (moderate). By Friday night, cloudy periods and a 30% chance of showers move in, with a low of 3°C.
Saturday looks wet, with showers and a high of 9°C, and the rain continues into the night, with a 60% chance of showers and a low of 2°C. Sunday follows suit, with steady showers and a high of 6°C, but as the temperature drops to -10°C overnight, rain will likely turn to flurries.
Monday stays on the cool side, with a mix of sun and cloud and a 30% chance of flurries, reaching a high of 1°C. Monday night brings cloudy periods with a low of -7°C. Tuesday looks a little better, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 3°C, though the chance of flurries returns Tuesday night as temperatures dip to -4°C.
What to Wear?
This morning calls for full winter gear—a warm coat, gloves, a hat, and a scarf to battle that wind chill. As the temperatures climb in the afternoon, you might be able to shed a layer. By Friday and Saturday, a light jacket or a sweater will be enough, but keep your rain gear handy as the showers roll in over the weekend. If you’re out Sunday night, a heavier coat will be needed again as temperatures plunge.
Sudbury Weather Trivia!
On March 13, 2012, Sudbury saw a surprising high of 17.9°C—one of the warmest on record for this date! Compare that to March 13, 1965, when the city shivered through an icy -32.2°C. This year, we’re somewhere in between, but at least we’re not dealing with a deep freeze!
