Picture-Perfect Weather Settles in for the Weekend
Friday: Mornings Made for Coffee on the Dock
It’s a gentle and mild start across Dryden, Wabigoon, and Vermilion Bay this Friday, June 13. At 5:00 AM CDT, the temperature sits at 7.6°C under mainly clear skies. Humidity is sitting high at 90%, giving the air that soft early summer feel, while a gentle east-northeast breeze at 9 km/h stirs the trees. Visibility is holding steady at 16 km, and pressure is rising at 102.4 kPa, signalling smooth weather sailing ahead.
Today’s forecast promises a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 21°C, ideal for spending time outdoors — whether you’re on the water, in the garden, or browsing the local market. With the UV index at 8, which is very high, make sure to slather on the sunscreen if you’ll be out and about.
Tonight: Cloudy Start, Clearing Late
Skies will turn cloudy this evening, but don’t worry — they’ll become partly cloudy after midnight. With an overnight low of 7°C, it’s perfect for campfires, stargazing, or sleeping with the windows open and the bugs (hopefully) out.
Saturday: A Saturday for the Scrapbook
Saturday brings nothing but good news. Expect sunny skies from start to finish and another high of 21°C, accompanied again by a very high UV index of 8. Winds remain light, and there’s no rain in the cards, making it a great day to hit the lake, host a barbecue, or get lost in the boreal beauty of Northwestern Ontario.
Saturday night brings cloudy periods, but temperatures remain mild with a low of 10°C.
Sunday: More Warmth, More Sunshine
Sunday will feature a mix of sun and cloud and the warmest temperatures of the weekend, with a high of 23°C. The day looks to remain dry, while cloudy periods overnight bring a low of 12°C — just cool enough to still call it refreshing.
What to Wear
Today and through the weekend, layers are your friend. Start the day with a light jacket or hoodie, but you’ll be peeling it off by mid-morning. With UV indexes consistently high, bring your sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat if you’re staying outside for long.
Historic Weather Trivia
On June 13, Dryden has seen its fair share of weather extremes. The record high was 31.5°C, scorched into the books in 1987, while the record low was a chilly 3.4°C back in 1970. This year’s steady 21–23°C highs might not be record-breaking, but it’s hard to argue with “just right.”
