Freezing Fog Fades as Sunshine Steals the Show in Sudbury
SUDBURY – WEATHER REPORT – Greater Sudbury is waking up to an icy embrace this morning, with the thermometer reading a frosty -5.8°C and freezing fog cloaking much of the city. Visibility is down to just 0.4 km—so if your morning walk feels like a stroll through a Stephen King novel, you’re not alone. But don’t worry, this spooky start won’t last long. As the sun gets to work, the fog patches will dissipate, clearing the stage for a mainly sunny day.
From Fog to Fresh Air – Thursday’s Weather Breakdown
The air is thick with moisture this morning, with a humidity level sitting at 95%—basically, it’s like the atmosphere tried to turn itself into soup. The pressure is on the rise at 102.5 kPa, indicating clearer skies ahead. Winds are a gentle southern breeze at 4 km/h, though it feels colder with a wind chill of -8°C early this morning. Expect wind chills around -10°C as you head out, so definitely layer up like a prospector in a northern gold rush.
By the afternoon, temperatures will climb to a much more manageable high of +5°C. Winds will stay light, up to 15 km/h, and the UV index will hit a moderate 5—meaning your skin could take a hit even if you’re just soaking up sunshine in your driveway.
Clear Nights and a Sunny Stretch Ahead
Tonight’s skies will remain clear, and while that’s great for stargazing, it means temperatures will dip to a crisp -8°C. With wind chills making it feel closer to -13°C overnight, it’s the perfect excuse to stay curled up with a good book or binge something cozy.
Friday continues the sunny streak with a high of 8°C, though the morning will kick off with a bracing wind chill of -14°C. That sun might look inviting, but your nose will definitely disagree. Friday night brings clear skies and a milder low of -1°C.
Saturday is looking gorgeous and sunny with a daytime high of 10°C, while Sunday gives us a mix of sun and cloud and tops out at 12°C. The clouds return Sunday night with a 40 percent chance of showers and a low around +3°C—just enough to keep you guessing.
Sudbury Weather History – April 10
Sudbury’s warmest April 10 on record reached 20.0°C, a surprising sizzle back in 1977. The chilliest? A downright bitter -22.2°C, all the way back in 1962. So today’s modest numbers are right in the middle of the pack—no extremes, just good old-fashioned northern spring.
Wardrobe Suggestions
Today is a classic “layer up” kind of day. You’ll want a thermal base layer, a good winter coat, gloves, and maybe a hat that says “I wasn’t ready for this either.” With sunshine on the menu later, sunglasses wouldn’t go amiss either—fashion and function!
