Weather Trivia

Did You Know?
Kenora’s weather is heavily influenced by Lake of the Woods, which acts as a thermal regulator. This often results in cooler mornings and warmer afternoons in late summer, making for some of the most comfortable weather conditions in Northwestern Ontario. In fact, Kenora frequently records some of the sunniest summer days in the province!
