Dryden & Vermilion Bay, ON – Saturday, May 24, 2025: The weekend kicks off with cloudy skies and cool, calm air over the region. As of 5:00 AM at Dryden Airport, the temperature is 6.5°C, and the morning air is thick with 85% humidity. Winds are light out of the east-northeast at 5 km/h, and visibility is a steady 16 km — just fine for early risers planning a lakeside drive or morning coffee on the deck. The barometric pressure is at 102.4 kPa, suggesting that stable, pleasant weather is on the way.
Though it’s starting off grey, skies are expected to brighten into a mix of sun and cloud by mid-morning, with a pleasant high of 18°C by this afternoon. The UV index is 6, so sun protection will be important once the rays break through. Perfect weather for a hike, a paddle, or just tackling that list of outdoor projects you’ve been dodging all week.
Clear and Cool Tonight
