Rain on the Radar, but Sunshine is Just a Few Days Away

Cloudy Skies and a Breezy Thursday Begin in the GTA

Good morning, Toronto! Today opens on a cool and cloudy note, with temperatures holding steady at 17.9°C and humidity at 71% as of 7:00 AM at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Winds from the east are already picking up at 17 km/h, and they’ll continue to build through the morning to 30 km/h, gusting to 50, so grab that windbreaker and hold onto your hat.

Visibility is excellent at 24 km, and pressure is sitting at a stable 101.9 kPa and rising, though clouds aren’t budging just yet. Expect overcast skies to persist today, with a 60% chance of showers this afternoon. The high will reach 23°C, feeling closer to 25°C with the humidex. The UV index sits at 7, rated high, so UV protection is still needed even behind the clouds.

Tonight & Friday: Showers, Storm Risks, and a Milder Mood

Tonight remains cloudy, with a 30% chance of lingering showers and that steady east wind gusting to 50 km/h. The overnight low will hold at a mild 17°C.

Friday keeps things unsettled with mainly cloudy skies, a 60% chance of showers, and a risk of thunderstorms — especially during the afternoon. Winds will be a bit all over the place: starting east at 20 km/h gusting to 40, going calm, and then ramping back up to 20 by evening. It’s a bit of a breeze ballet. The temperature rises to 24°C, but the humidex will make it feel like 31°C, so it’s going to be muggy despite the clouds. Friday night holds a 60% chance of showers and an overnight low of 18°C.

Saturday & Sunday: Weekend Turns from Cloudy to Classic

Saturday features cloudy skies with a 30% chance of showers, but it will feel warmer with a high of 28°C. It’s not a washout, but your plans might need a backup plan indoors. The night brings cloudy periods and a comfortable low of 16°C.

Sunday is shaping up beautifully — a full sunny day with a high of 28°C, giving us a true taste of Toronto summer. Sunday night will be clear and warm, with a low of 20°C, perfect for evening patios and park strolls.

What to Wear: Wind-Ready and Rain-Prepared

Today’s fashion tip? Think layers with purpose — a waterproof shell for wind and showers, and breathable underlayers for the mild temperatures. With high humidity and gusty conditions, comfort is key. Sunglasses and SPF are still relevant under bright cloud cover. For Friday, trade in the umbrella for something sturdier if those storms roll through, and by the weekend, break out the summer gear.

Historic Temperatures & Toronto Trivia

On June 26, Toronto has hit some steamy highs, including a record of 34.2°C set in 1952. Meanwhile, the record low for this day dipped to 10.6°C in 1972. Today’s high of 23°C keeps us in the comfortable middle zone — cool for June but with the humidex giving it some summer flair.

Did you know? The combination of Lake Ontario’s influence and Toronto’s urban heat island effect makes June one of the most variable months in the GTA — meaning your umbrella, sunglasses, and jacket might all get used in one day!
