Geraldton and Greenstone Weather Forecast – April 7, 2025
The snow machine is still doing overtime in Geraldton and Greenstone this morning, reminding everyone that April in Northern Ontario is less “spring awakening” and more “extended winter remix.” As of 7:00 AM EDT at the Geraldton Airport, it’s -12.3°C under light snow. Winds are out of the north at 13 km/h, giving a biting wind chill of -19°C.

Flurries Fizzle Into a Cloudy Chill
Today stays mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of flurries this morning—so keep that scraper handy if you’re heading out. Winds will increase to 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h at times, which will keep things feeling far colder than the high of -6°C suggests. Wind chill values start the day around a brisk -24°C and only ease to -13°C this afternoon. The UV index is a moderate 3, so the sun might peek through the clouds, but it’s not bringing much warmth with it.
Tonight, skies remain mainly cloudy as winds die down to light by evening. Temperatures will plummet to -18°C, with wind chills sinking to -22 overnight. It’s another night where the stars will sparkle—if you’re brave enough to peek out from under your blankets.
Clear Skies, Cold Start, but Warmer Days Ahead
Tuesday, April 8, finally delivers some sun. With winds up to 15 km/h, the temperature rises to a still-brisk high of -3°C. Wind chills will make the morning feel like -22, so yes, the winter coat is still doing the heavy lifting. Clear skies continue into the night with a low of -20°C.
By Wednesday, spring begins to poke its head out with a high of +1°C under sunny skies, and Thursday carries us further toward the warmth with a balmy (by Northern Ontario standards) high of 7°C. Each night remains below freezing, so keep your frost warning sensors on.

Local Weather Trivia
