Chilly Morning Air Greets Lake of the Woods Region
Kenora, ON – Sunday, March 30, 2025 – The weather in Kenora and the Lake of the Woods region is cool and crisp this morning, but at least it’s coming without the drama of ice storms and freezing rain hitting southern Ontario. At 5:00 AM CDT, skies were partly cloudy and the temperature sat at a frosty -7.2°C, with the breeze making it feel more like -13°C thanks to an east-northeast wind at 12 km/h.
Mixed Skies, Mild Highs, and Modest Winds
Humidity is sitting at 56%, and the barometric pressure is 102.2 kPa and falling, a sign that a shift in air mass may be underway. Visibility is excellent at 32 km, so there’s a good view across the sparkling icy lakes—just don’t let the beauty distract you from how cold it still is.
Today’s forecast offers a mix of sun and cloud, with winds shifting to the north at 20 km/h this afternoon. The high will nudge up to 0°C, which feels positively tropical compared to this morning’s chill. The UV index is 4, so even if it doesn’t feel sunny, your skin will disagree—consider grabbing the sunscreen if you’ll be outside for long.
Tonight: A Clear, Cold Evening
The clouds will part this evening, offering a clear and cold night with a low of -14°C. As the wind dies down, it won’t feel quite as harsh, though the evening wind chill will still sit around -10°C before calming further overnight.
Monday continues the trend of mainly sunny skies with light winds up to 15 km/h. The temperature will hold steady with another high of 0°C, but early risers will face a morning wind chill of -17°C. Monday night remains clear and cold, with a low of -11°C.
Tuesday brings some sunshine and more seasonal promise, reaching a high of +3°C before cloudy periods and a 30% chance of flurries sneak in Tuesday night. The overnight low will be -5°C—not bad by northwestern Ontario standards.
Wardrobe Wisdom: Layers Are Still In Season
Despite the sunny outlook, it’s still thermals over T-shirts out there. Mornings are brisk, and evenings remain properly cold, so layer up with insulated outerwear and keep those gloves, toques, and scarves handy. And yes, it’s still too early to switch to spring jackets—unless you like shivering with style.
