Storm Threat Looms Over Cambridge Before Sunny Skies Return
Good morning, everyone! Let’s take a moment to check in on what’s happening with the weather in Cambridge today—because it’s shaping up to be one of those “be prepared for anything” kind of days.
As of this morning, the skies over Cambridge are sitting under a thick blanket of clouds. Temperatures started around 23.7°C, and although that might sound pleasant, the humidity is really turning things up a notch. With a dewpoint of 21.8°C and a humidity level pushing 89%, it’s feeling a lot stickier out there than the thermometer suggests. Add in the wind from the southwest blowing at 24 km/h—and gusting up to 33 km/h—and it’s safe to say the atmosphere is a bit unsettled.

Now here’s the important part: there’s a 60 percent chance of showers this morning, and that could come with a risk of thunderstorms . If you’ve got plans to be out and about before noon, especially anything involving the outdoors, you’ll want to keep an umbrella handy and an eye on the sky. Winds are expected to shift and pick up as the day progresses—up to 50 km/h from the northwest this afternoon—so those clouds could bring some dramatic movement with them.
The high today is 27°C, but the humidex will make it feel more like 34 . That kind of heat mixed with wind and moisture? It’s classic summer storm weather. Fortunately, the UV index is only rated at 6 today, so while sun exposure won’t be at its peak, it’s still wise to use sunscreen if the clouds clear at any point.
Looking into the evening, there’s some good news: things will calm down. Winds taper off around midnight, and skies should start clearing out late tonight. Expect the temperature to drop significantly—down to a refreshing low of 12°C by morning.
As we move into Friday, things shift toward brighter news. Expect clear skies and sunshine , with a high of 23°C. And for those planning weekend activities, Saturday and Sunday are shaping up with a mix of sun and cloud, highs in the mid-20s, and only a small chance of rain here and there. In fact, by Monday and Tuesday, we could be seeing temperatures rising again to 28°C , but with mostly manageable weather conditions.
So, in short: pack an umbrella, brace for some potential thunder this morning, but rest easy knowing the weekend looks more promising. Whether you're walking near the Grand River or grabbing a coffee downtown, a little patience with today’s unsettled skies will lead you into some beautifully clear days ahead. Stay dry, Cambridge!
