NetNewsLedger Weather Desk – Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – It’s a frosty spring morning in Geraldton, with the mercury sitting at -3°C under clear skies. While the calendar says late May, Mother Nature is keeping it classic Northern Ontario—this morning’s wind chill of -7°C might have you second-guessing that iced coffee. A steady east-northeast wind at 13 km/h is adding to the bite, with humidity at 83% and pressure strong at 102.9 kPa and rising.
However now that the long weekend is over, Mom Nature is set to start the march to spring and maybe even more summerlike weather.
Today – Clear Skies, Chilly Start, Warmer Finish
Today brings plenty of sunshine and the promise of warmth—eventually. Winds will strengthen, becoming east at 30 km/h gusting to 50, so hang onto your hat and brace for wind chill values as low as -13°C this morning. But fret not—sunshine will warm things up, and the temperature is expected to reach a high of 14°C by afternoon. The UV index hits 7, which is high, so sun protection is recommended even if you’re still defrosting from the morning.
Tonight – Clear, Then Cloudy
Skies remain clear into the evening, with clouds rolling in overnight. Winds stay steady at east 30 km/h gusting to 50, and the low will dip to -1°C, flirting once more with frost risk for gardeners and growers.
Wednesday – More Cloud, Less Chill
The day begins cloudy, transitioning to a mix of sun and cloud late in the morning. Winds will remain northeast at 30 km/h gusting to 50, so expect a bit of a breeze all day. High of 14°C, and the UV index stays strong at 6.
Looking Ahead to Thursday
Cloudy skies dominate Thursday, with a 40 percent chance of showers. It’ll be a cool one, with a high of just 7°C. The unsettled trend continues Thursday night with a 30 percent chance of showers and a low of 4°C.
What to Wear?
You’ll want layers this morning, including a warm jacket, gloves, and maybe even a toque—yes, still. But by mid-afternoon, a light windbreaker and sunglasses should suffice. Just don’t be fooled by the sun—the wind has teeth.
Geraldton Weather Trivia
The lowest recorded May temperature in Geraldton is a bone-chilling -9.4°C, set back in 1945. So, while today’s -3°C might feel unseasonably cold, it’s still not a record-breaker. Spring in the North—never boring!
