A Rainy Start, but Sunshine and Moderate Temps Ahead for Toronto
TORONTO – WEATHER – After that tense Thursday night watching the Leafs pull off a stunning rally to take Game Six against Ottawa, for Saturday, Toronto is waking up to a lighter kind of drama: light rain and a north wind that makes it feel just brisk enough to nurse your victory coffee indoors. Maybe it is Mom Nature letting go of the tension with a relief of water.
As of 6:00 AM at Pearson Airport, it’s currently 6.3°C with a dew point of 3.8°C. Humidity is sitting at a spring-appropriate 84%, while the barometric pressure is at 101.4 kPa and rising—always a good omen for better weather on the way. Winds are blowing in from the north at 15 km/h, helping keep that damp chill in the air.
Showers Tapering Off Today, Sunshine Making a Guest Appearance Tomorrow
Today’s forecast continues under cloudy skies, with a 70 percent chance of showers lingering through the morning. But fear not—Mother Nature is planning a mid-day turnaround. Winds will shift to the east and pick up to 20 km/h around noon, helping dry things out as the high reaches a modest 13°C. The UV index will sit at a moderate 5, so some sunscreen might still be a good idea if you’re heading out once the clouds part.
Tonight looks much calmer, with skies becoming partly cloudy and a low of 7°C offering a comfortable backdrop for any post-game celebrations or quiet walks to the corner store.
Sunday promises a pleasant mix of sun and cloud, although things will turn overcast again by mid-morning. Winds from the east will return, gusting up to 40 km/h, and the high will hit a warmer 15°C. The UV index jumps to 8—very high—so it might be a two-sunscreen-kinda day if you’re planning any patio time. Sunday night, however, sees a 60 percent chance of showers returning, with a low of 10°C.
Monday continues the cloudy theme, again with a 60 percent chance of showers and a daytime high of 14°C. The overnight hours will also remain cloudy with scattered showers and a low of 11°C.
What to Wear and Fun Weather Lore
Layer up this morning with a waterproof jacket, something wind-resistant, and maybe skip the sneakers in favour of something less puddle-prone. Sunday will feel warmer, but those gusty winds could make it feel a bit cooler than the thermometer says, so keep a light jacket handy.
Today’s historic weather trivia: On May 3rd, Toronto’s warmest recorded temperature was a toasty 28.9°C in 2001, while the coldest took the city down to a frosty -1.1°C way back in 1965. No records expected to be broken today, but hey—we already got our win last night.
