Early Morning Warmth and Cloud Cover Overhead
Dryden & Vermilion Bay, ON – Wednesday, May 28, 2025: It’s a warm and gentle morning in the Dryden region, with temperatures holding steady at 13.5°C as of 4:00 AM, according to the latest readings from Dryden Airport. Skies are mostly cloudy for now, but don’t worry — the sunshine is on its way. The humidity sits at 66%, with a dew point of 7.3°C, keeping the air comfortable but not sticky.

Partly Sunny Today with a Chance of Afternoon Showers
Today’s forecast features a mix of sun and cloud, and while the sunshine will peek through throughout the day, there’s a 30% chance of showers this afternoon. It’s the classic “umbrella insurance” scenario — bring one just in case, but you’ll probably forget it’s even there. The high will reach a warm 24°C, and with a UV index of 6, sun protection is key even with the cloud cover.
Clear and Comfortable Tonight
Skies will clear out tonight, offering a crisp, calm night ideal for evening walks or simply cooling down after a warm day. Expect an overnight low of 11°C, just right for sleeping with the windows open or winding down fireside.
Turning Up the Heat for Thursday and Friday
Thursday will be a stunner — sunny early on, then transitioning to a mix of sun and cloud late in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise to a summer-like high of 27°C, and the UV index hits 8, which is very high, so it’s sunscreen or sunburn — your choice. Thursday night remains clear with a low of 12°C.
Friday continues the sunny theme with another high of 27°C, followed by a clear, cooler night at 8°C. It’s shaping up to be a gorgeous week for outdoor work, play, and everything in between.
Saturday Looks Great, Too
As we head into the weekend, Saturday brings a mix of sun and cloud with a still-pleasant high of 23°C, and cloudy periods overnight with a low around 9°C. All in all, it’s the kind of forecast that makes you want to clean off the patio furniture and fire up the grill.
What to Wear?
Start your day with a light jacket, especially if you’re heading out early. By midday, you’ll be reaching for shorts, sunglasses, and sunscreen. A hat and a water bottle won’t go amiss, especially with those UV levels climbing through the week.
Historic Temperatures for May 28
In Dryden’s weather records, the warmest May 28 hit 29.9°C, while the coldest dipped to -0.8°C. Today’s forecast high of 24°C sits comfortably in the “spring perfection” range — warm, but not oppressive.
Dryden Weather Trivia
Did you know Dryden is one of only a handful of cities in Ontario classified as a “city” by law, but smaller in population than many towns? Its small-town charm and wide-open landscapes make it a prime spot for stargazing — and with these clear, mild nights on the way, it’s a great time to look up.
