Toronto – Weather – Today, Toronto is enjoying some delightful weather with mainly sunny skies and a high reaching 28°C. It feels a bit warmer, though, with the humidex pushing it to about 34°C. The UV index is high at 7, so sunscreen is a must if you’re spending time outdoors. Winds are light, and the barometric pressure is steady at 102.4 kPa, making it a perfect day to be out and about.
What’s Ahead: Sunshine with a Chance of Showers
As we move into Monday, expect another sunny day with temperatures again reaching 28°C and a similar humidex of 34°C. However, starting Tuesday, the weather pattern shifts slightly with a 30% chance of showers in the afternoon, which increases to 40% by night. This trend of sun mixed with a slight chance of rain continues into Wednesday, with temperatures hovering around 27°C.
Historical Perspective
Historically, late August in Toronto sees average highs of around 24°C, so this warm spell is just slightly above average. On this date, the record high was a toasty 33.9°C, set back in 1947, so while it’s warm, we’re not breaking any records today.
Wardrobe Tip
For today and tomorrow, light clothing is your best bet—think breathable fabrics like cotton. If you’re planning to be out in the evening, a light jacket might come in handy as the temperature drops to around 18-20°C.
Fun Fact
Did you know that Toronto’s highest ever August temperature was recorded at 40.6°C back in 1948? Thankfully, we’re not anywhere near that heat today!
