Cloudy Morning with Smoke Near the Border and Heat Building Fast
Kenora, ON – Tuesday, May 27, 2025: The Lake of the Woods region is starting the day under mostly cloudy skies, with a touch of local smoke lingering near the Manitoba border. As of 5:00 AM, the temperature is a mild 12.8°C, with humidity at 57%, and a dew point of 4.6°C, making the air feel dry and pleasant for early risers. Winds are gently pushing in from the south-southeast at 11 km/h, while visibility remains excellent at 32 km. The barometric pressure is 102.3 kPa and falling, hinting that some instability — and the possibility of a thunderstorm — may roll through later in the day.
Today’s forecast features a mix of sun and cloud, with a 30% chance of showers this afternoon. There’s also a risk of a thunderstorm, so keep an ear out for rumbles and an eye on the sky if you’re out on the lake or trails. Despite the shower risk, the temperature will climb to a warm high of 25°C, perfect for getting outdoors. The UV index is 6, which is high, so don’t skip the sunscreen if you plan to be outside for long.
Slight Shower Risk Tonight, Then Clear Skies Take Over

Midweek Warmth Continues With Sun, Clouds, and a Few Sprinkles

Sunshine Dominates the Late Week Forecast

What to Wear?
Start your day with a light layer, but shorts and breathable clothing will be your best bet by mid-morning. With a high UV index and temperatures nearing the mid-20s, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a water bottle are must-haves. Keep an umbrella or light rain jacket close if you’re out in the afternoon, just in case those storms pop up.

Lake of the Woods Weather Trivia
Did you know Lake of the Woods spans parts of Ontario, Manitoba, and Minnesota — making it one of the few places in the world where you can paddle through three jurisdictions in a single afternoon? And with over 14,500 islands, it’s also one of the most lake-laced areas in North America — which makes for some unpredictable, but beautiful, spring weather.
