A Brilliant Blue Sky to Start May’s First Sunday
Clear and Crisp Morning in Sudbury, With a Sunny Day Ahead
SUDBURY – Weather – Sudbury is stepping into Sunday with a clear sky and a crisp chill in the air. As of 6:00 AM at the Greater Sudbury Airport, the temperature sits at 2.6°C, with a light northerly wind of 10 km/h keeping things fresh. The air feels relatively dry and clean with a humidity level of 75%, and visibility is an impressive 32 km — perfect for taking in the early-morning horizon.
The barometric pressure is at 101.8 kPa and on the rise, signaling continued fair weather — at least for today. Expect a shift in the wind direction to the northeast at 20 km/h later this morning, with the mercury climbing to a high of 15°C. Add in a UV index of 7 (which is considered high), and it’s a good idea to break out the sunscreen if you’re heading out to soak up the rays. Sunglasses? Definitely.
Tonight’s Forecast: Chilly but Calm
Tonight stays clear under starry skies. The northeast breeze will mellow out and become light later this evening. Overnight temperatures will dip to a low of 3°C, so you might want to toss an extra blanket on the bed or bring your plants inside if they’re a bit frost-sensitive.
Monday: Sunshine Early, Then Clouds and Showers on the Horizon
Monday morning starts off with more sunshine, but don’t get too attached — increasing cloudiness is expected by midday. Winds will shift once again, this time coming in from the east at 20 km/h by late morning. The high climbs to a pleasant 19°C, making it the warmest day of the week so far. The UV index remains high at 7, so keep that SPF handy.
Monday night brings a change in tone: skies will cloud over with a 30 percent chance of showers sneaking in. Temperatures remain mild with an overnight low of 11°C.
Tuesday: Cloudy with a Better Shot at Showers
Tuesday looks to continue the cloudy trend with a 40 percent chance of showers throughout the day. The high will hold steady at 18°C, keeping things spring-like even if a little grey. The evening maintains the 40 percent chance of rain with a low of 7°C.
What to Wear
Today’s sunshine calls for layers you can shed — start with a sweater or light jacket and enjoy the warming trend through the day. Sunglasses are essential, and don’t forget sun protection. Come Monday and Tuesday, it’s wise to have an umbrella or rain jacket on standby, just in case the clouds get weepy.
Historic Weather Trivia for Sudbury
On this date, May 4th, Sudbury has experienced quite a spectrum of spring weather. The record high for today reached a warm 27.8°C in 2001, while the chilliest May 4th dropped to a frosty -6.1°C back in 1974. Today’s 15°C high fits nicely between those two extremes — just the way Goldilocks would like it.
