Wardrobe Suggestions
As the weather in Northern Ontario remains cool and crisp, residents should be prepared for frosty mornings and chilly evenings. Layering will be key, with medium-weight jackets needed during the day and heavier coats, scarves, and gloves required at night. Frost is expected on October 11th and 13th in many areas, so heavier outerwear may be necessary. Keep rain gear handy for the showers expected on October 13th.
Weather Trivia
The communities of Northern Ontario have a long history of early autumn snowfalls. On October 12, 1985, Fort Severn recorded its earliest measurable snowfall with 7 cm of snow, marking the beginning of a cold and snowy winter that year.
