Dryden and Vermilion Bay Weather – Monday, June 30, 2025

A Sunny Start with Stormy Possibilities

Dryden and Vermilion Bay woke up to a golden sunrise at 16.4°C under sunny skies, though this peaceful start may be a clever disguise. With humidity sitting at 82% and a dew point of 13.4°C, the air is warm and moist — classic fuel for summer storms. The pressure is at 100.7 kPa and falling, while light west-southwest winds at 9 km/h whisper of atmospheric change. Visibility is steady at 16 km.

As the morning wears on, cloud cover will increase, leading to a 70% chance of showers this afternoon, accompanied by a risk of thunderstorms. Winds will swing around from the west at 20 km/h near noon. Expect a high of 23°C, but the humidex will push it to 27, making it feel just sticky enough to earn that iced tea break. The UV index is 6, so protection is still necessary if you’re outside.

Evening Outlook – Storms Linger, Then Clear Skies Win

This evening, showers and possible thunderstorms will continue into the early night hours, but the risk diminishes after midnight. The chance of precipitation dips to 30%, and winds from the northwest at 20 km/h will settle down to light breezes. Temperatures dip to a comfortable 15°C — a cozy night for sleeping with the window open, as long as the thunder’s done rumbling.

Canada Day Forecast – Sunshine with a Side of Showers

Canada Day on Tuesday kicks off with sunshine, but don’t get too comfortable — a 40% chance of afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms is back in play by late day. Winds will pick up from the northwest at 20 km/h, adding a bit of freshness to a warm 25°C high, which will feel closer to 28 with the humidex. Keep sunglasses and a rain jacket handy — it’s the ultimate Canadian forecast.

The evening will be clear and mild with a low of 12°C, offering perfect viewing conditions for fireworks or a peaceful dockside nightcap.

Midweek Outlook – Glorious Summer Sunshine

Wednesday and Thursday will be classic cottage weather: full-on sunshine, highs of 25°C and 28°C, and clear nights dipping into the low teens. Get that hammock ready — it’s going to be stellar.


Wardrobe Suggestion

Today and tomorrow call for layers — light clothing for the daytime heat and a rain shell or umbrella for potential pop-up storms. For the evening, a hoodie or light jacket will keep you comfortable under the stars.

Local Weather Trivia:

Dryden is known as the smallest city in Ontario, but it’s big on weather extremes — from blizzards to thunderstorms. In fact, the surrounding boreal forest and nearby lakes often help spark localized thunderstorms that surprise even seasoned locals!
