Toronto is waking up to a mild and partly cloudy start this morning, with the temperature sitting at 7.2°C. The wind is coming from the south-southwest at 21 km/h, gusting up to 31 km/h, making it feel a bit brisk.
Humidity levels are at 59%, and the barometric pressure is at 100.0 kPa and falling, suggesting some weather shifts ahead.
With visibility stretching a solid 24 km, it’s a great morning to be out and about—just be ready for a noticeable temperature dip later in the day.
As we move through the morning, expect sunshine with southwest winds at 20 km/h, which will shift to the northwest and pick up speed to 30 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h by late morning. While the high will reach a comfortable 11°C, don’t get too cozy—the temperature will drop back down to 6°C this afternoon.
The UV index sits at a moderate 4, so if you’re out for a walk, a light jacket and maybe some sunglasses wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Tonight, the sky remains clear, with northwest winds at 20 km/h calming down by late evening. The low will fall to -4°C, and with a wind chill of -6°C overnight, you might need to swap that spring jacket for something warmer if you’re heading out.
