A Cool Morning with a Gradual Warm-Up

Toronto starts off chilly at -6°C but warms to +2°C with sun and clouds. Flurries possible overnight. Rain returns midweek. Get the full weather outlook!

Toronto wakes up to a chilly -6°C this Monday morning, with mostly cloudy skies over the city. The southwest wind at 13 km/h adds a brisk wind chill of -12, making it feel even colder. The humidity sits at 74%, while the barometric pressure is at 102.4 kPa and rising—a sign of some temporary stability in the weather. Visibility is excellent at 24 km, so your morning commute should be clear, though you’ll want to bundle up against the cold.

As the day progresses, the clouds will break up, giving way to a mix of sun and clouds. The southwest wind will pick up to 20 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h this afternoon, helping to nudge temperatures up to a high of +2°C. That’s quite the improvement from this morning’s frigid start! However, the wind chill will linger around -10°C in the early hours, so don’t be fooled into leaving your gloves behind just yet. The UV index sits at a moderate 3, so if you’re spending time outdoors, a little sunscreen wouldn’t hurt.

Tonight: A Few Clouds with a Chance of Flurries

The evening begins with partly cloudy skies, but increasing cloudiness after midnight brings a 40% chance of flurries or ice pellets overnight. The temperature will dip to -1°C, which is milder than recent nights but still cold enough to remind you that winter isn’t done with us yet.

Tuesday: A Weather Mix with Some Milder Air

Tuesday brings a little bit of everything—early morning flurries or ice pellets (40% chance), followed by a similar chance of rain showers in the afternoon. The southwest wind will return at 20 km/h, helping to push temperatures up to a high of +5°C. Once again, the UV index will be a moderate 3, so even on a cloudy day, a bit of protection from the sun is a good idea.

By nighttime, the risk of rain showers continues with a 30% chance of precipitation. The temperature remains on the milder side, with a low of +2°C.

Midweek Outlook: Rain Makes a Comeback

Wednesday will be a wet one, with periods of rain expected throughout the day as the temperature reaches a high of +6°C. The evening stays cloudy with a 60% chance of showers and a low of -1°C. If you were hoping for an early taste of spring, this mild and damp pattern might just be it.

What to Wear?

• Morning: A warm winter coat, gloves, and a hat are essential to combat the wind chill.
• Afternoon: Layers will be your best friend! It will feel milder, so a lighter jacket might work.
• Evening: Keep that rain-resistant layer handy—flurries and ice pellets are possible.

Toronto Weather Trivia!

Did you know that on this day in history, Toronto’s warmest March 3rd reached 17.4°C in 1974? A stark contrast to today’s morning chill! On the flip side, the coldest March 3rd was a bone-chilling -26.7°C in 1943. That makes today’s weather seem quite reasonable, doesn’t it?
