Mild Mornings, Glorious Afternoons — June’s Finally Doing June Things
Thursday: A Cloudy Start with Sunshine on Standby
Good morning, Kenora and Lake of the Woods! It’s a cool, mostly cloudy start to Thursday, June 12, with the temperature at 8.7°C as of 7:00 AM CDT at the Kenora Airport. The breeze is a gentle one from the northeast at 3 km/h, with humidity sitting high at 85%, giving that “fresh off the lake” kind of morning feel. Visibility is a solid 32 km, and pressure is rising at 102.3 kPa — always a good omen for improving conditions.
There’s a 40% chance of a light shower this morning, but don’t let that dampen your day — clouds are expected to shift and make room for clearer skies by the afternoon. Winds will pick up slightly from the east at 20 km/h before settling again late this morning. The high today will reach a comfortable 22°C. With a UV index of 8, considered very high, don’t forget your sunscreen if you’re heading out once the sun takes over.
Tonight: Cool, Clear, and Calm
Tonight will be beautifully clear with a low of 12°C. Perfect for campfires, dockside chats, or just listening to the loons under a starlit sky. Light winds and no bugs in your forecast? We’d call that a win.
Friday and the Weekend: A String of Weather Wins
Friday looks like a picture-perfect June day — wall-to-wall sunshine, a high of 22°C, and a UV index of 8. Light winds will make for great boating, biking, or anything else that doesn’t involve checking the radar.
Friday night stays clear and cool with a low of 9°C, ideal for sleeping with the windows open and the A/C off.
Saturday delivers more of the same: sunshine, 22°C, and not a weather worry in sight. Another clear night follows with a low of 12°C.
Sunday starts off with a mix of sun and cloud and a slightly warmer high of 23°C. Some cloudiness will creep in by Sunday night, along with a 30% chance of showers and a low of 14°C — just enough to keep things interesting and your garden happy.
What to Wear
Today calls for light layers — a sweater or light jacket for the morning, then short sleeves by mid-day. Keep sunglasses handy all weekend, and slap on the SPF. If you’re planning on being out all day, a hat and some hydration wouldn’t hurt either.
Historic Weather Trivia
On this date, June 12, Kenora has seen a wild range of weather. The record high was a scorching 32.3°C back in 1956, while the record low was a frosty 2.2°C in 1972. Today’s seasonal 22°C? A Goldilocks kind of day — not too hot, not too cold, just right.
