Sunshine Reigns with a Chance of Showers by Monday
Saturday: A Calm, Clear Start to a Glorious Weekend
DRYDEN – Weather – It’s a beautiful Saturday morning across Dryden, Wabigoon, and Vermilion Bay, with clear skies and a pleasant temperature of 9.9°C as of 5:00 AM CDT. The humidity sits at 68%, with a gentle south wind at 4 km/h, making for a crisp, peaceful start to the day. Visibility is strong at 16 km, and pressure is holding steady at 102.3 kPa, suggesting fair and steady weather throughout the day.
Today’s forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud, with the temperature rising to a comfortable high of 21°C — perfect for outdoor markets, yard work, or just relaxing by the lake. The UV index is 8, which is very high, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat are highly recommended if you’re spending extended time outdoors.
Tonight: Mild and Mostly Clear
Expect partly cloudy skies early in the evening, clearing after midnight. The overnight low will be 10°C, making it ideal sleeping weather — cool enough for comfort, warm enough to leave the windows cracked open for some fresh air.
Sunday: Summer’s Tease with a Hint of Humidex
Sunday will be mainly sunny, and the winds will pick up slightly, becoming southerly at 20 km/h by late morning. The high will climb to 23°C, but it’ll feel more like 26°C with the humidex, so summer’s starting to flex its muscles just a little. The UV index will jump to 9, which is very high, meaning the sun protection routine should be non-negotiable.
Sunday night will feature cloudy periods and a warm low of 13°C, making it a great evening to stay out a bit longer or enjoy dinner al fresco.
Monday: Clouds Return with a Chance of Showers
By Monday, expect cloudier skies and a 40% chance of showers. The high remains steady at 23°C, and although the sun may take a break, the warmth won’t. Showers may pop in again overnight, with a mild low of 14°C, so it might be wise to keep an umbrella close by as the new week begins.
What to Wear
Saturday morning will call for a light jacket, but by midday, you’ll want breathable clothing and sunglasses. Sunday’s warm, humid conditions make it ideal for shorts, T-shirts, and lots of sunscreen. Don’t forget a hat and water if you’re out in the sun. Monday’s cloud cover may cool things slightly, but not enough to call off the summer wardrobe.
Historic Weather Trivia
On this day, June 14, the record high in Dryden is a toasty 31.6°C, set back in 1987. The record low was a brisk 3.0°C in 1965. This weekend’s pleasant mid-20s range strikes the sweet spot between “sweater weather” and “crank the AC,” offering a taste of summer without the sizzle.
