Kenora and Lake of the Woods Forecast: From Fog to Sun with a Side of Showers
Kenora, Ontario – April 24, 2025 – It’s a misty, mysterious start to the morning along the shores of Lake of the Woods.

That means the humidity is sitting at a muggy 99%, and visibility is trimmed down to just 6 km thanks to lingering mist. Winds are barely stirring from the north at 3 km/h, and barometric pressure is rising steadily at 102.6 kPa—Mother Nature’s way of saying “hang tight, change is coming.”
