From Fog to Fresh Air – Dryden’s Forecast Breezes Toward Bright Skies
Dryden and Vermilion Bay residents are waking up to thick morning mist, a blanket of moisture that’s keeping visibility low and umbrellas close at hand. But don’t let the fog fool you—brighter and windier skies are making a strong comeback later today.
Current Conditions and Monday Forecast – Wind is the Word
As of 5:09 AM CDT, the mercury is sitting at a warm 15.4°C under misty skies, with 100% humidity and a dew point also at 15.4°C, meaning the air is completely saturated. Winds are currently light at 5 km/h from the west, but that won’t last long. Visibility is limited to just 2 km due to the thick mist hanging over the region. The barometric pressure is 100.5 kPa and rising—good news for those hoping for drier conditions.
This morning features a 60 percent chance of showers or drizzle, with a risk of a thunderstorm, particularly in the early hours. But the real headline is the wind: gusts will build significantly, with west winds increasing to 40 km/h and gusts up to 60 km/h this afternoon. Hold onto your hats and secure your lawn chairs—this could be a blustery afternoon.
Temperatures will reach a high of 22°C, with a UV index of 8, rated very high. That means when the sun breaks through, it’ll pack a punch—don’t skimp on sunscreen.
Tonight and Tuesday – Wind Tapers, Skies Clear
Tonight remains mainly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of lingering showers before midnight. Winds will ease slightly, but still stay brisk: west at 40 km/h gusting to 60, diminishing to 20 gusting to 40 km/h overnight. Temperatures will cool down to a refreshing low of 9°C—a perfect night to open the windows and let the breeze in.
Tuesday is shaping up to be a beauty. Expect sunny skies, with winds calming to northwest 20 km/h gusting to 40, becoming light by late morning. The daytime high climbs to 23°C, with another very high UV index of 8. Time to dig out the shades and patio gear.
Tuesday night will be clear and calm, with a low of 13°C, followed by increasing cloudiness Wednesday and a high near 23°C.
Wardrobe & Safety Tip:
Start your day with a light rain jacket and wind-resistant gear. Once the winds ease and sun returns, switch to breathable, UV-protective clothing. Today’s a good hair-tie day—the breeze will be no joke!
