Wardrobe Recommendations

For this evening, keep rain gear close and avoid being outdoors during thunderstorms. A waterproof jacket, sturdy shoes, and a charged phone are smart choices.

On Thursday, dress for a cooler, windy, and unsettled day. A light jacket or windbreaker will be useful, especially with gusts reaching up to 60 km/h. Sunglasses may not be needed for much of the day, but the moderate UV index means sunscreen is still a good idea if you are outside for long periods.

Friday and Saturday will feel much cooler, so long sleeves, a spring jacket, and waterproof footwear will be practical.

Weather Trivia

Thunderstorms can develop rapidly in northwestern Ontario when warm, humid air from the south meets a stronger cold front moving in from the west. This setup can produce fast-moving storm lines, strong wind gusts, hail, and intense bursts of rain — exactly the kind of pattern Dryden is watching closely today.
