Gusty Breezes and Glorious Sunshine to Start the Day
This Tuesday morning in Dryden and Vermilion Bay, the skies are smiling down with mainly sunny conditions and a fresh spring temperature of 8.2°C, recorded at 7:00 a.m. from the Dryden Airport. A gentle dew point of 1.4°C and a humidity level of 62% make for crisp, clean air. Visibility stands strong at 16 km, and the barometric pressure sits at 101.7 kPa, signalling generally stable weather—though winds are stirring things up just a bit.
Winds from the north are breezing in at 22 km/h, gusting up to 41 km/h, so hang onto those coffee cups and loose ball caps. Expect that wind to continue throughout the morning, reaching up to 40 km/h, before gradually easing into the evening. A mix of sun and cloud is expected by late morning, along with a 30 percent chance of a quick shower this afternoon. Today’s high will hit a seasonable 17°C, and the UV index reaches a “high” rating of 7—so a touch of sunscreen wouldn’t go amiss.
Clear and Cool Tonight
Tonight brings nothing but clear skies—perfect for stargazing or a calm evening walk. Winds from the north at 30 km/h will taper off and become light this evening, and the overnight low will dip to a fresh 2°C. It’s a great night to crack a window and sleep in the cool northern breeze.
Midweek Bliss and Rising Temperatures
Wednesday, May 7, continues the trend of lovely late-spring weather. Expect another sunny day with a high of 16°C and light winds. With the UV index holding steady at 7, it’s shaping up to be another great day to enjoy the outdoors safely.
Wednesday night will be clear with another low of 2°C. From there, Thursday turns up the heat with sunshine and a high of 20°C. If you’ve been waiting for true T-shirt weather, you won’t have to wait long. Thursday night remains calm and mild with a low of 10°C.
By Friday, the atmosphere adds a little variety with a mix of sun and cloud and a 40 percent chance of showers. Despite that, the high will rise to a summery 23°C. Friday night sees cloudy periods and a low of 5°C, but no major chill in sight.
What to Wear?
Layer up in the morning to fend off the breezy chill, but be ready to pare down by mid-afternoon. A light jacket and sunglasses are great companions today—and keep an umbrella handy, just in case one of those 30 percent showers decides to say hello.
Dryden Weather Trivia
Here’s a nugget from the weather vault: on May 6, Dryden’s record high was a toasty 27.9°C in 1991, while the coldest ever for the day was a brisk -6.5°C in 1976. With today’s forecast splitting the difference, it’s clear we’re enjoying a Goldilocks kind of spring day—not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
