Another temperature record was broken in Toronto on Wednesday.
The temperature at Pearson International Airport hit 23.3 C, shattering the 64-year-old record of 17.8 for March 21.
Record high temperatures were also recorded at a number of stations in Ontario, including Cobourg, Collingwood, Goderich, Sudbury, Hamilton Munro Airport, Toronto Buttonville and Wiarton, said CP24 meteorologist Bill Coulter.
On Wednesday night, the temperature will dip to a low of 12 C, but it is expected to soar to 26 C on Thursday, when more records will likely be shattered.
A rare heat wave is giving Torontonians a break from usual March weather – normal highs of 6 C and lows of -3 C – and setting records almost daily with summer-like temperatures.
Weather set to cool off: Environment Canada
