Kenora and Lake of the Woods Weather Outlook – October 29, 2025
KENORA – Here is your weather outlook for the Lale of the Woods – Kenora region.
The day kicks off under mainly clear skies at the Kenora Airport, with a calm early morning temperature of 1.9°C, barely a whisper above freezing. The humidity is sitting at a hefty 97%, so yes, the air feels as damp as your socks after stepping in a surprise puddle. Winds are blowing gently from the northwest at 10 km/h, and the barometric pressure is rising, currently at 102.9 kPa—a solid sign of continued fair weather through the morning.
Visibility is excellent at 32 km, which means you’ll have no trouble seeing those golden autumn leaves doing their final dance. However, cloud cover is expected to move in near noon, putting a cap on that morning sunshine. The high today will climb to a modest 8°C, with a UV index of 2, so sunglasses are optional but a light fall jacket is not.
Tonight and Thursday – Partly Cloudy Skies Giving Way to Gloom
Tonight, things cool off to a low of +1°C under partly cloudy skies. Not quite freezing, but enough to make you think twice before leaving your cozy blanket. On Thursday, October 30, skies will be mainly cloudy with a high of 7°C—one degree shy of today, so don’t expect any dramatic changes. The UV index remains low at 2.
As we move into Thursday night, expect cloudy skies and a 30 percent chance of rain showers or flurries, with the temperature again dipping to +1°C. You might want to start mentally preparing for windshield scraping duty.
Weekend Outlook – Light Flurries Tease Kenora into November
Friday, October 31, carries that spooky Halloween chill with it—cloudy skies continue along with a 30% chance of rain showers or flurries, and the daytime high will only reach +4°C. Overnight, that chill deepens to -3°C, and the light flurry chances persist. It might not be enough to build a snowman, but perhaps just enough to keep things interesting.
Saturday, November 1, brings a continued 30% chance of flurries or rain showers with a high of +3°C. Overnight, temperatures ease a little to -1°C, with just some cloudy periods expected.

What to Wear?
Layering is your best friend today. A warm base layer, a sweater, and a windproof jacket should have you covered for the morning chill and afternoon cloud cover. Gloves and a hat might be optional this morning, but if you’re out late, you’ll be glad to have them. And maybe stash an umbrella in your bag for the weekend—just in case Mother Nature decides to sprinkle some flakes.
