Toronto weather live
On this page you can follow the weather in Toronto in real time: current temperature and feels-like, wind, humidity, pressure, cloud cover, dew point and chance of rain, refreshed every few minutes. The hourly and seven-day forecasts help with everything from the commute to a walk along the waterfront. Toronto sits in southern Canada on the shore of Lake Ontario, and the lake plays a major role in its weather.
Toronto's climate
Toronto has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons and, for Canada, a relatively moderate character thanks to Lake Ontario. Summers are warm to hot and often humid, with temperatures climbing above 30 °C and afternoon thunderstorms, while winters are cold and snowy, with freezing temperatures, ice and periods of heavy snow. Lake Ontario moderates the climate: it keeps the lakeshore slightly milder in winter and cooler in summer, and can enhance snowfall through lake-effect snow when cold air crosses the open water. Lake breezes create differences between the shore and inland areas. Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed through the year, falling as rain in the warmer months and snow in winter. Spring and autumn are changeable and can be brief, with rapid swings in temperature as weather systems pass through. The urban heat island keeps the downtown warmer than surrounding areas, especially at night.
Air quality and UV in Toronto
The page also shows air quality (US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂) and the UV index. On hot, stagnant summer days ozone can build up, while in winter calm conditions may raise particulate and NO₂ levels; wind off the lake and rain improve dispersion. On sunny summer days the UV index can be high; together with sunrise, sunset and day length, this helps with planning time outdoors.
