A Friday That Starts Bright and Ends with a Splash
TORONTO – WEATHER – Toronto wakes up to a crisp but manageable 2°C this Friday morning, with partly cloudy skies and a peaceful breeze from the north-northwest at 10 km/h. Visibility is an impressive 24 km—perfect for spotting that one neighbour still wearing flip-flops in April. The barometric pressure is sitting at 102.3 kPa and rising, signaling a solid start to the day. Humidity stands at a comfortable 67%, which means your hair should behave… at least for now.
Friday Forecast: Bright Beginnings with a Rainy Plot Twist
Get your sunglasses ready early, because the sun is making a strong morning appearance. Expect sunshine through most of the day, with cloud cover slowly moving in by late afternoon. The winds will pick up slightly from the northwest at 20 km/h but are expected to lighten by noon. We’ll be reaching a pleasant high of 12°C—definitely a jacket-over-hoodie kind of day. The UV index is sitting at 6, or “high,” so don’t forget the SPF if you’re out soaking up rays during lunch hour.
As we slide into the evening, the clouds thicken and a 5 mm dose of rain is forecasted to begin overnight. Winds will switch directions, becoming a gusty east breeze at 30 km/h, with gusts up to 50 km/h late tonight. The temperature will only dip to 6°C, so it’s not too cold—just wet and blustery.
Saturday Outlook: Rain, Wind, and a Cooler Feel
Saturday morning holds onto that rainy mood, with periods of rain expected to continue until late afternoon. Another 5 to 10 mm of rain could fall, so you might want to make the umbrella part of your weekend outfit. Winds will be feisty, gusting from the east at 30 km/h before calming down around noon, only to pick up again from the northwest at 20 km/h later in the afternoon. The high reaches 13°C, but between the showers and the wind, it might feel a bit chillier. The UV index drops to 2, so sunglasses take a backseat to raincoats.
Saturday night keeps the grey skies around, with a 40 percent chance of lingering showers and a low of 3°C.
Sunday Sneak Peek: Grey Skies Stay
Sunday looks mostly cloudy with a cooler high of just 8°C. The cloud cover continues into the night, with temperatures falling to around 0°C. Not exactly patio season yet, but hey, we’re getting closer.
Wardrobe Suggestions
Today is perfect for light layering—think hoodie and windbreaker combo. Swap in a waterproof outer layer for Saturday, and don’t forget a sturdy umbrella if you’re venturing out. Sunday calls for something a bit warmer with potential gloves for the evening chill.

On this date in Toronto weather history, the highest recorded temperature was a lovely 22.8°C (talk about spring fever!), while the record low chilled out at a brisk -10.0°C. So yes, we’re somewhere right in the happy medium this year.
