Toronto kicks off the week with mainly clear skies and a current temperature of 1°C at Pearson Airport. With the sun shining and a gentle west-southwest breeze at 12 km/h, it’s a crisp but pleasant morning. Humidity is sitting at 76%, and the barometric pressure is on the rise at 100.9 kPa—good news for stable weather today. The high will reach a comfortable 9°C, making it a perfect day to soak up some early spring sunshine. The UV index is at a moderate level of 4, so if you’re outside for long periods, don’t forget a bit of sunscreen!

Tonight: Clear and Mild

Clear skies continue into the evening, with winds shifting to the southwest at 20 km/h after midnight. The low will only dip to 4°C, making for a relatively mild night compared to recent March evenings.

Tuesday: Warmer but Showery

Clouds will start to increase on Tuesday, with a 30% chance of showers arriving later in the afternoon. A strong westerly wind at 30 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h, will add a bit of bluster to the day. Despite the breeze, temperatures will climb to 12°C—definitely feeling more like spring! The UV index will be moderate at 3, so while it won’t be summer-level sun exposure, some protection is still a good idea.

Tuesday night will bring clearing skies and a sharp drop in temperatures, with a low of -7°C—quite the contrast from the daytime warmth.

Midweek: A Brief Chill Before Another Warm-Up

Wednesday will be sunny but noticeably cooler, with a high of just 2°C. The night will see increasing cloudiness and a low of 1°C. By Thursday, temperatures bounce back with a high of 11°C under clearing skies, followed by a mild low of 6°C overnight.

What to Wear?

Today’s sunshine makes for great walking weather, so a light jacket with a sweater underneath should be enough. Tonight remains mild, but you’ll want a warm layer if you’re out late. Tomorrow’s warmth is deceiving—bring a wind-resistant jacket to handle those gusty conditions. And for Wednesday, bundle back up as the cold makes a brief return.
