A Warm Sunday with Haze in the Air – Then Showers and Storms to Start the Week
Sunday, June 15 – Morning Haze and a Warm Afternoon Ahead
Residents across Dryden, Vermilion Bay, and Red Lake Road are kicking off the day under mainly sunny skies with some light haze from distant wildfire smoke. At 6:00 AM CDT, the temperature is a pleasant 11.5°C, with the humidity at 81% and a light southerly breeze at 15 km/h. Atmospheric pressure is steady at 102.2 kPa, suggesting settled conditions — at least for now.
Today will bring a mix of sun and cloud, with hazy conditions expected to ease by late morning. As the sun takes over and winds pick up to 20 km/h out of the south, temperatures will climb to a high of 24°C, but it will feel more like 27°C with the humidex. The UV index soars to 9, categorized as very high, so be sure to cover up or slather on the sunscreen if you’re spending time outdoors.
Tonight – Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Showers
As evening sets in, skies will turn partly cloudy, and there’s a 30% chance of showers overnight. Winds will die down after sunset, becoming light. Temperatures will hold steady with an overnight low of 14°C, making for a mild night.
Monday, June 16 – Showers and Thunderstorms Possible
Monday starts off similarly with sun and cloud, but the weather takes a turn later in the day. There’s a 30% chance of morning showers, increasing to a 60% chance of rain and thunderstorms by the late afternoon. That southern warmth sticks around, pushing temperatures to a high of 25°C, and a humidex of 29 will make it feel warmer and more humid than it actually is.
Winds will be variable, and the UV index remains very high at 8, so whether it’s sunshine or storms, you’ll want to dress smart and stay weather aware.
The evening stays cloudy, with a 40% chance of showers, and a low holding steady at 14°C.
Tuesday, June 17 – A Calmer Day in Store
Tuesday brings a return to a mix of sun and cloud, with a more comfortable high of 24°C, and partly cloudy skies overnight. Showers are possible again later in the week, but Tuesday looks like your best bet for uninterrupted outdoor plans.
What to Wear
You’ll want breathable clothing for the warm and humid conditions, and sun protection is a must today and tomorrow — think sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and SPF 30+. Keep a light rain jacket or umbrella nearby for Monday’s storm potential.
Weather Trivia – Smoke and Sunburn?
Did you know wildfire haze can sometimes reduce the intensity of UV rays? But don’t be fooled — ultraviolet radiation still gets through, and the UV index can remain high even under hazy or partly cloudy skies. That’s today’s lesson: You can still burn, even in a haze.
