From a Brisk Breeze to a Beautiful Monday — Toronto Steps Into Summer Mode
Toronto, ON – Toronto is welcoming June with a classic spring-to-summer weather swing. After waking up to a brisk 6°C this morning, the city is on track for a steady warm-up this week, with a beautiful Monday in store and highs nearing the 30°C mark by Tuesday.
Sunday: Cool Morning, Breezy Afternoon
As of 6:00 AM EDT, it’s 6.2°C under mainly sunny skies at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Winds are picking up from the west at 15 km/h, and visibility is a clear 24 km. The humidity is at 80%, with barometric pressure rising at 100.5 kPa — a sign of improving conditions.
Today’s forecast includes cloudy skies with increasing winds, which will shift west at 30 km/h and gust up to 50 km/h by late morning. The high will reach a modest 17°C, making it a breezy but comfortable day. The UV index is 5, considered moderate, so still worth slapping on some sunscreen if you’re out for a stroll.
Tonight, expect clearing skies late, with winds easing to light after sunset. The overnight low will settle around 8°C.
Monday: A Sunny Stunner
Victoria Day may be long gone, but Monday, June 2, will bring classic early summer vibes. The day will be sunny and dry, with west winds picking up to 20 km/h in the afternoon and a high of 23°C. The UV index climbs to 8, which is very high, so sun protection is essential if you’re working or playing outside.
Monday night will bring some cloudy periods, with a much milder low of 14°C — great sleeping weather with the windows cracked open.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Heat Builds, Clouds Creep Back
Tuesday will be a scorcher by early June standards, with a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 27°C. Wednesday will stay warm with a high near 26°C, but increasing cloud cover will signal the next shift.
Cloudy skies will linger Wednesday night with a 30% chance of showers and a low of 15°C — not a washout, but a heads-up for anyone planning outdoor midweek events.
