Kenora’s Forecast Offers a Little Bit of Everything This Weekend
KENORA – WEATHER REPORT – The skies over Kenora and the Lake of the Woods region are waking up to a springy mix of sun and cloud, a modest breeze, and a refreshing (read: brisk) morning wind chill. It’s the kind of morning where your coffee cools faster than your car warms up. But not to worry — the sunshine peeking through and a steady climb in temperatures promise a day that slowly warms both spirits and sidewalks.
Today’s Forecast – Morning Chill, Afternoon Chill-Vibes
Right now, the wind chill is sitting around -4°C, thanks to light winds of up to 15 km/h. Temperatures will rise to a comfortable 10°C this afternoon, making it feel much more like spring after the icy start. The UV index is a moderate 4 — so yes, even with cloud cover in the mix, it’s a good idea to slap on some SPF if you’re outdoors enjoying that Lake of the Woods air.
Tonight, things cool down again with partly cloudy skies clearing by evening. Temperatures will drop to a low of -3°C, with a wind chill near -5 overnight. Fog patches are expected to form later tonight, setting the scene for a misty and moody Friday morning.
Friday and Beyond – Bright Skies Give Way to Weekend Showers
Friday keeps the partly sunny vibes going with a high of 11°C — not quite t-shirt weather, but we’re getting there. Morning fog patches will lift by mid-morning, revealing clearer skies and a calmer day ahead. Winds remain light, and the UV index dips to a low 1. Friday night gets cloudy with a 30 percent chance of evening showers and a mild low of +3°C.
Saturday leans into the cloudiness, also with a 30 percent chance of showers and a daytime high of 13°C. Saturday night continues the cloudy streak with the same 30 percent chance of light rain and a low of +4°C.
Sunday takes a wetter turn, with a 60 percent chance of showers and a high of 10°C. And don’t put that umbrella away just yet — Sunday night holds a chance of rain or flurries as temperatures dip to zero. Monday stays cloudy with a 40 percent chance of more April-style surprises and a high of 8°C, with a mix of rain or flurries Monday night as temps drop to -3°C.
Historic Weather in Kenora – April 10 Trivia
On April 10, Kenora’s warmest recorded temperature was a toasty 22.8°C back in 1991 — clearly one of those rare “shorts in April” kind of days. The coldest on record? A deep freeze of -20.6°C in 1936. Today’s high of 10°C lands us right in the middle of spring’s wild mood swings.
Wardrobe Suggestions
This morning calls for a layered look — warm jacket, gloves, and maybe even a hat if you’re out early. But keep it flexible! By midday, lighter layers will do, and don’t forget sunglasses — that spring sun bounces off the lake like a disco ball.
Weather Trivia – Lake of the Woods Edition
Did you know Lake of the Woods has over 14,500 islands? That’s more islands than the Caribbean! And with so much water and land interaction, Kenora often experiences rapid weather shifts — making it one of Ontario’s most unpredictable (and fascinating) microclimates.
