Check the live forecast above before heading out, as Windsor’s position along the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair makes it prone to sudden lake-effect shifts and sharp temperature swings through the day.
What is the outlook for the week ahead?
Windsor’s weather this week follows a pattern typical of southwestern Ontario: mild starts near the river, with afternoon highs influenced by cloud cover from the Great Lakes. The live forecast above gives the immediate picture, but for planning, look at the windsor weather 7 day and windsor weather 14 day outlooks to catch any lake-effect snow or rain bands that can develop quickly. Hourly changes are common, so the windsor weather hourly update is your best tool for timing outdoor plans.
How does the local geography affect conditions?
Being sandwiched between the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair, Windsor often sees cooler mornings and warmer afternoons than inland Essex County.

Is the 30-day forecast for Windsor accurate enough for trip planning?
Extended outlooks like the windsor weather 30 day forecast give general trends—such as warmer or cooler than average—but day-to-day accuracy drops after 7 days. For a trip, rely on the 7-day and hourly updates from the live forecast above.
Does CTV Windsor provide its own weather reports?
