Light Snow and Rain to Start, But Sunshine Returns for a Glorious Weekend

Toronto Gets One Last Taste of Winter Before a Warm-Up to 14°C by Sunday

Snow in April? Yep. But Don’t Worry — Spring’s Back by Saturday

Toronto, ON — April 11, 2025 – It’s a snowy start to the day in Toronto, and no — your eyes aren’t deceiving you. As of 6:00 AM EDT, light snow is falling at Toronto Pearson, with a current temperature of 1.2°C. Humidity is sitting at a saturated 100%, so it’s damp, chilly, and just a touch confusing for anyone who thought we’d left winter behind.

The north wind is blowing at 22 km/h, adding a brisk bite to the morning. Visibility is 10 km, so nothing too troublesome for commuters, just a classic case of “April can’t decide what season it is.” Barometric pressure is at 101.9 kPa and falling, signaling that today’s unsettled weather has a bit more life left in it.

We’re in for rain showers today, with a mix of flurries or rain continuing early this morning, before easing off and transitioning into light winds by this afternoon. The high will reach a chilly 6°C, and the UV index is a low 2, so no need for the sunscreen just yet — maybe just a good waterproof coat and sturdy footwear.

Tonight remains cloudy, with a 40% chance of lingering showers and a low of +3°C. It’s not a washout, but certainly not patio weather either.

But here’s the good news — Saturday starts cloudy but clears by late morning, and the temperature climbs to a mild 11°C under mostly sunny skies. Winds will be out of the north at 20 km/h early, then easing off as the day goes on. Saturday night will be clear and crisp with a low of +2°C.

Sunday is shaping up to be a gem, with sunshine all day long and a beautiful high of 14°C. That’s more like it! Sunday night brings increasing cloudiness, with a low of +5°C.

Monday keeps the spring vibe going, though it’s not entirely dry — expect cloudy skies with a 30% chance of showers during the day, and a high of 13°C. Showers become more likely Monday night, with a 60% chance of precipitation and a low of +4°C.

Wardrobe advice? Think “wet in the morning, warm by the weekend.” Waterproof layers and a good umbrella will help you today, but you can trade them in for sunglasses and lighter jackets by Sunday.

On this day in Toronto weather history, the record high was 23.3°C, while the record low plunged to -9.4°C — so today’s light snow really isn’t as outlandish as it feels.

Weather trivia for the 6ix: Did you know Toronto is one of the few Canadian cities where you can experience snow, rain, and sunshine all in the same day — and sometimes all within a single hour? It’s the lake effect plus urban heat dynamics at their finest… or most chaotic.
