What a wonderful day to be outside today. The weather is perfect with comfortable temperature and lots of sunshine. I also noticed that people are often in better mood in this kind of weather and with air quality index readings in the good category, what else could you ask more? I had a delightful walk in downtown Toronto during my lunch today and I enjoyed every minute of it.

For today’s summary, here are the observed max. and min. temperatures in the city:

Toronto Pearson: 21.0 / 8.2

Buttonville Airport: 22.1 / 8.6

Downtown Toronto: 20.1 / 10.2

Toronto City Centre: 17.6 / 9.5

Toronto East York PWS: 22.7 / 9.6

The hot spot in Ontario is Bancroft with a high today of 23.3 deg. C while nationwide, Maniwaki, Quebec reached 24.1 deg. C. If you’re wondering where’s the coldest place in Canada today, it’s Mould Bay, NWT with a low of -17.0 deg. C this morning while Peawanuck is the coldest in the province with a low of -5.6 deg. C. In fact Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Northern Ontario for a mixture of wet snow and freezing rain.

Here in Toronto, we will get wet but at least it’s the liquid type. The cold front from the low pressure system centred in Northern Ontario will reach the Detroit/Windsor area around lunch time and the Horseshoe region late afternoon/early evening. I expect that the pressure will drop around 1005 mb with strong southerly winds (up to 55 km/h) shifting to WNW in the evening. Rainfall will be light (6-8 mm) unless we got lucky and get thunderstorm. The Storm Prediction Center in the US has put the Great Lakes under slight risk level of having thunderstorm tomorrow. Our next round of precipitation is on Friday night extending to Saturday and cooler weather will persist at least until the end of next week.

Enjoy the weather!
