( January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December) Here are the average sunshine hours per day. On average, there are 2,065 hours of sunshine per year. As weeks pass, however, the temperature decreases rapidly, low pressure areas become more frequent, and the first cold days occur.Īll in all, the amount of sunshine in Toronto is good in late spring and summer it is not high in the other months, and it's quite low in winter, when the sun is rarely seen. Sometimes, even heat waves may occur, with highs around 36/37 ☌ (97/99 ☏), generally of short duration.Īutumn, from September to mid-November, is initially pleasant, since there are many sunny days, with temperatures exceeding 25 ☌ (77 ☏): these periods, called Indian summer, occur in September, but sometimes also in October. However, in summer, there are also cool and cloudy days, while in days of fine weather, which are cooled by the breeze from the lake, thunderstorms can erupt in the afternoon. On hot days, when the temperature can reach or even exceed 30 ☌ (86 ☏), it can also be muggy because of the humidity brought by Lake Ontario. Summer, from June to August, is warm, with highs usually about 26/27 ☌ (79/81 ☏). Spring, from mid-March to May, is an unstable season, characterized by changes in temperature: initially cold in March, with snowfalls and frosts still quite frequent, it advances gradually, with the first warm days but also the return of cold weather, and it is still on average cold in April, when it can still snow in the first half of the month, while it becomes mild in May, when also afternoon thunderstorms start to erupt during sunny days. Sometimes, the phenomenon called "ice storm" (or glaze ice) may occur, that is, rain that falls on frozen ground, freezing everything, roads, trees, light poles, cars etc. Snowfalls are frequent, so much so that it snows for several days per month occasionally, real snow storms may occur. On the other hand, waves of intense cold, with peaks of -20/-25 ☌ (-4/-13 ☏), occur practically every year. Given the constant instability of the weather, the temperature can sometimes exceed freezing (0 ☌ or 32 ☏) even in mid-winter: in these cases, snow can melt and it can rain. However, at least, the days here are not as short as in the Nordic countries.Ĭold waves are accompanied by the blizzard, the north wind blowing in gusts. Winter in Toronto runs from late November to mid-March and is cold: the average temperature, about -5.5 ☌ (22 ☏) in January, is similar to that of northern European cities like Oslo. In an average year, about one meter and a half (5 feet) of snow fall sometimes, a snowfall can be seen already in October, and in spring, still in early May. During the long winter months, from mid-November to March, precipitation mainly occurs in the form of snow. In fact, due to the continual clash between masses of warm and cold air, disturbances can form in all months, while in summer, when they are less frequent, afternoon thunderstorms can occur. Precipitation amounts to about 830 millimeters (32.5 inches) per year, and it's well distributed over the seasons. Toronto - Average temperatures (1991-2020) Month
