Toronto Weather: A Chilly Start with Flurries on the Horizon
Monday, February 10, 2025 – Winter’s Grip Holds Tight
Toronto wakes up to a brisk morning, with the thermometer sitting at -6.1°C as of 6:00 AM. A west-southwest wind at 19 km/h is making it feel much colder, with a wind chill of -13°C—so bundle up! The barometric pressure is at 102.9 kPa and rising, suggesting that while today starts off mainly sunny, changes are on the way. Humidity sits at 70%, adding a slight bite to the air. Visibility is excellent at 24 km, but don’t be fooled—winter isn’t letting go just yet.
A Mix of Sun and Clouds with a Chance of Flurries
The day ahead offers a blend of sunshine and increasing cloud cover near noon, followed by a 30% chance of flurries this afternoon. Winds will shift to the west, picking up to 20 km/h with gusts reaching 40 km/h, keeping things brisk. The high for today will be -3°C, though it will feel significantly colder, with a wind chill of -19°C this morning and -9°C this afternoon. If you’re venturing outdoors, dress in layers and protect those exposed skin areas—frostbite can still be a concern!
As the evening sets in, expect partly cloudy skies with a continued 30% chance of flurries. Winds will remain from the west at 20 km/h, gusting to 40 km/h, but will lighten up after midnight. The overnight low dips to -10°C, with a wind chill of -14°C—perfect weather for a cozy evening indoors.
Looking Ahead: More Clouds, More Flurries
Tuesday, February 11, will remain mainly cloudy with a 40% chance of afternoon flurries. Winds will be light, reaching up to 15 km/h, but it won’t feel much warmer—a high of -3°C with a morning wind chill of -11°C and -5°C in the afternoon. The UV index stays at 2 (low), meaning sunscreen isn’t top priority, but sunglasses might help with the glare from the snow. Tuesday night brings cloudy periods with a low of -7°C.
By Wednesday, February 12, expect more cloud cover with a 30% chance of flurries throughout the day and a high of -4°C. But the real action begins at night, with snow expected and a low of -5°C.
Thursday, February 13, continues the snowy trend, with periods of snow and a high of -2°C. If you’re thinking of a Valentine’s week getaway, keep an eye on the forecast, as road conditions may be impacted. Thursday night will see cloudy periods with a 30% chance of flurries and a low of -12°C—another deep freeze to remind us that winter isn’t quite ready to pack up.
Historical Weather Trivia: Toronto’s Coldest February 10
Toronto’s historical temperature records remind us that things could be worse! The coldest February 10 on record was a bone-chilling -26.1°C, recorded in 1899. By contrast, the warmest February 10 saw temperatures reach a balmy 12.8°C in 1932—a far cry from today’s reality.
Wardrobe Recommendations
Today’s cold and gusty winds mean a winter coat, hat, gloves, and scarf are non-negotiable. Layer up with thermal wear and insulated boots to keep the chill at bay. If you’re outside for extended periods, hand warmers might be a good idea, too!
Final Thought: Winter’s Not Done Yet!
Toronto is locked in a wintery grip, and while today offers a mix of sun and clouds, flurries will be a frequent visitor over the next few days. Stay warm, drive carefully, and maybe keep the hot chocolate close—it looks like winter is here to stay a little while longer.
