Toronto residents can look forward to a warmer week ahead after a chilly start to the week. According to weather experts, temperatures are expected to rise as we head into the weekend.
The city experienced below-average temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, with a high of only 6 degrees Celsius. However, things are expected to change as a warm front moves in, bringing milder temperatures and sunshine.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Toronto and the surrounding areas, advising residents to prepare for a significant warm-up. The agency predicts that temperatures will reach the mid-teens by Friday, with a high of 17 degrees Celsius on Saturday.
This sudden change in weather is due to a shift in the jet stream, which is bringing warm air from the south into the region. This will also bring an end to the recent rain and cloudy conditions, with clear skies and sunshine expected for the rest of the week.
While this may come as a relief to those who have been bundled up in winter gear, it is important to note that this warm spell is only temporary. Environment Canada warns that temperatures will return to more seasonal levels by early next week.
In the meantime, residents are advised to take advantage of the warmer weather and enjoy outdoor activities while following COVID-19 safety protocols. This includes wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing.
So, get ready to put away your winter coats and enjoy the sunshine, Toronto. But don’t forget to stay safe and follow the latest weather updates from Environment Canada.
