Fog, Drizzle, and a Dash of Sunshine Ahead for Greenstone

Geraldton, Ontario – April 24, 2025 – Residents across the Geraldton and Greenstone region are waking up to a damp and dreamy morning. At 6:19 AM from Geraldton Airport, the temperature reads a brisk 1.0°C with 99% humidity and just 1.2 km of visibility. Mist lingers in the early light, and the dew point is virtually locked at 0.9°C—talk about close quarters in the atmosphere. The wind is gently nudging in from the north at 13 km/h, and the barometric pressure sits at a steady 102.3 kPa, offering a bit of hope that today’s greyness might not overstay its welcome.

Fog patches will lift as the morning progresses, and winds will intensify slightly from the north, picking up to around 20 km/h by midday. Don’t expect a heatwave—the high will top out at 9°C, with a modest UV index of 2. It’s one of those “layer and hope” kind of days: keep that raincoat close, and maybe toss in an extra pair of dry socks just in case.
