Weather Trivia

Did You Know?
Kenora’s frequent mix of heat, humidity, and storm potential during late July is due in part to the region’s proximity to both prairie air masses and moisture-laden systems from the south. This collision of systems often leads to pop-up thunderstorms, particularly on still, smoky days like today.
