NetNewsLedger Weather Desk – Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – Good morning from a chilly Toronto where the mercury is sitting at just 4°C to start the day, and if you’re heading out early, a jacket and maybe a warm coffee are both advisable.

Today – A Bright and Brisk Spring Day
Toronto residents can expect a sunny day with a high of 16°C, perfect for patios and parks. Winds will turn light later this morning, offering a calm and pleasant afternoon. The UV index is a high 8, so sunscreen is still a must even if it doesn’t feel like summer just yet.

What to Wear:
Today’s bright sunshine may fool you—it’s still spring crisp. Dress in layers, and keep a light jacket or sweater handy. If you’re out midday, be sure to protect your skin from that strong UV!
Toronto Weather Trivia:
Did you know? Toronto’s record high for May 20th is a scorching 32.2°C, set in 1944. Today’s expected high of 16°C is a far cry from that, but it’s still a step up from last week’s frosty lows!
