Foggy Start, Warmer Finish
Sudbury sees misty conditions this morning, a mild 3°C this afternoon, and a temperature drop with flurries on Tuesday
Sudbury wakes up to a misty morning at -8°C, with humidity at a high 94% and visibility reduced to just 5 km. Light winds from the west-northwest at 9 km/h make it feel like -13°C, so it’s a chilly start to the day. The pressure is rising at 100.8 kPa, hinting at a bit of stability before changes roll in.
As the morning progresses, clouds will increase, and temperatures will climb to a mild 3°C this afternoon. Winds will shift to the south at 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h, bringing a bit of a breeze but also helping to push away the morning chill. The UV index will be moderate at 3, so while it won’t be beach weather, a little sun protection wouldn’t hurt.
Tonight: Cloudy with a Chance of Showers
The evening will remain mainly cloudy, with a 40% chance of showers overnight. Winds from the southwest will continue at 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h. Temperatures will hold steady at 3°C, making for a relatively mild night.
Tuesday: A Weather Rollercoaster
Tuesday will start cloudy, with rain showers in the morning quickly changing to flurries before tapering off by noon. It’s a classic March mix of weather as winter and spring battle it out. By late afternoon, skies will clear, but temperatures will be dropping fast. A brisk north wind at 30 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h, will send the mercury falling to -7°C by the afternoon. The wind chill will make it feel like -16°C, so don’t let the morning’s milder temperatures fool you!
By Tuesday night, skies will remain clear, and temperatures will plunge to -17°C—definitely a night for thick blankets and warm socks.
Midweek Outlook: Sun and Seasonal Swings
Wednesday will be sunny but cold, with a high of -2°C, followed by increasing clouds and a 30% chance of flurries in the evening, with a low of -5°C. By Thursday, the pattern shifts again, with a 30% chance of rain or flurries and a high of 4°C. The night will stay cloudy, with a low of 2°C.
What to Wear?
This morning calls for warm layers, gloves, and a hat—especially with the mist adding extra chill. This afternoon, you might get away with a lighter jacket as temperatures rise. Tomorrow, however, will be a temperature swing, so dress in layers to adjust as the day progresses. By Tuesday night, full winter gear will be needed again.
Sudbury Weather Trivia
Did you know Sudbury once hit a record high of 23.9°C in March? That happened on March 29, 1946. Not quite there yet, but at least today’s high of 3°C is a step in the right direction!
