What’s the Deal with Today’s Weather?

Today in Toronto, the forecast brings cloudy skies and a 40% chance of showers throughout the day. Temperatures will hover around a cool 16°C (61°F), so it’s a good idea to keep a light jacket handy. Winds will be coming in from the northwest at 30 km/h, with gusts up to 50 km/h, making it feel even cooler. So if you’re stepping out, don’t forget to secure your hat—or your coffee!

As we head into tonight, the chance of rain lingers, with mostly cloudy skies continuing into the evening. The temperature will drop to about 8°C (46°F), and the winds will ease slightly to around 20 km/h.

The Weekend Outlook

Sunday will bring a little relief with a mix of sun and clouds, and just a 30% chance of showers. The temperature will rise to a more comfortable 19°C (66°F), perfect for a weekend walk or light outdoor activities. In the evening, expect partly cloudy skies with the temperature cooling down to 13°C (55°F).

Looking ahead to Monday, temperatures are set to climb further, hitting a pleasant 23°C, with even warmer days expected later in the week.

Historical Highs and Lows

On this day, September 7th, Toronto has seen some extreme temperatures. The record high was a sizzling 32.4°C (90°F) in 1989, while the record low was a brisk 5.5°C (42°F) in 1999. Today, we’re happily in between those extremes!

Wardrobe Wisdom

Layer up to stay comfortable! A light jacket will be your best friend during the day, and be sure to keep an umbrella on standby just in case. For the evening, consider adding a sweater to keep warm when temperatures dip.

Did You Know?

Toronto enjoys one of the longest autumn seasons in Canada, thanks to the moderating effects of Lake Ontario. This means milder fall weather sticks around for longer compared to other parts of the country—so make the most of it while you can!
