Spring Breezes and Sunny Promises – Toronto’s Forecast Looks (Mostly) Bright

Morning Clouds, Gusty Winds, and a Mild Climb

Good morning, Toronto! It’s a blustery but mild start to your Tuesday, with temperatures sitting at a comfortable 7.9°C as observed at 6:00 AM EDT from Toronto Pearson International Airport. Skies are mostly cloudy, the wind is flexing its muscles from the west at 21 km/h and gusting up to 40 km/h, and humidity levels are sitting at a manageable 63%. Barometric pressure is at 101.4 kPa and rising—always a promising sign that things are on the upswing.

Today will remain cloudy throughout, but don’t let the lack of sunshine fool you—it’s a great day for a stroll if you don’t mind the breeze. Temperatures are on track to reach a high of 15°C, and the UV index lands at 5, which is moderate. So yes, even behind the clouds, the sun’s still got some punch—sunglasses and a little SPF wouldn’t go amiss.

Tonight: Clear Skies and a Chill in the Air

The clouds will part this evening, giving way to a mostly clear night. By overnight, skies will turn partly cloudy again, and temperatures will dip to a crisp low of +3°C. The wind calms down a bit, making it a good evening for a walk—or for curling up with a warm drink and pretending the wind never happened.

Midweek Marvel: Sunshine and Springtime Perfection

Wednesday is shaping up to be a stunner. Skies will clear in the morning, making way for full-on sunshine and a high of 16°C. The UV index climbs to 7, which is high—so definitely reach for the sunscreen if you’re spending time outdoors. Wednesday night remains clear with a comfortable low of +5°C.

Thursday offers a pleasant mix of sun and cloud, though there’s a 40 percent chance of showers. Still, temperatures will hit a solid 15°C, keeping that spring feeling alive. Thursday night stays clear and mild with a low around 10°C.

Looking Ahead: Showers Return, But So Does the Warmth

Friday brings more sunshine and a high of 17°C, though there’s a 30 percent chance of showers to keep you on your toes. By Friday night, those showers become a sure thing, and the low drops to 8°C.

Saturday turns more traditionally “spring-like” (read: damp) with cloudy skies and a 70 percent chance of showers. The high will be 14°C, and the chance of showers sticks around into the night as well with a low of +4°C.

What to Wear: From Breezy to Beautiful

Today’s winds mean it’s still a jacket day—preferably one that zips. Layers are your friend, especially if you’re stepping out early. As we head into Wednesday and Thursday, it’s time to break out the lighter spring gear—but keep the umbrella nearby for those late-week pop-up showers. And don’t skimp on the sunglasses—sunshine and UV are here to stay for a bit!

Weather Trivia: Toronto’s April Mood Swings
