TORONTO – WEATHER – Toronto is waking up to a mild-for-February but messy start: light rain, very high humidity, and a falling barometer. Through the day, expect a rain-to-snow mix near midday, then a slushy finish as precipitation tapers and temperatures hover just above freezing.

Wardrobe Recommendations
-
Today: Waterproof jacket with a tight hood (gusty winds make umbrellas frustrating), plus waterproof footwear for puddles and slush.
-
This afternoon: Add warm gloves—wet snow + wind can chill hands fast.
-
Weekend: Layering is key (sweater or fleece under a shell). With evening lows slipping below freezing, watch for ice patches where daytime melt refreezes.
-
Monday night cold snap: Switch to a true winter coat, insulated boots, and a face/neck layer if you’re out late.
Weather Trivia
Toronto’s winter “messy mix” days are often tied to Lake Ontario’s moderating influence. The lake can keep surface temperatures near the freezing mark, which increases the odds of rain, wet snow, or quick flip-flops between the two—especially when winds pull in different air masses over short periods.
Summary – Toronto weather forecast for Feb 20–22, 2026: light rain and gusty east winds this morning, rain mixing with snow near noon, 10–15 mm rainfall, then flurries chances through the weekend with colder air arriving Monday night.
