Weather Trivia

Did you know?
The average high in Dryden for the end of September is around 15°C, making this week’s forecasted highs of 23–26°C a remarkable 8–11 degrees above normal. This stretch of warmth is tied to persistent high-pressure ridging, which is blocking cooler Arctic air from reaching Northwestern Ontario — a pattern that can occasionally delay the first frost well into October.
