After a wet, grey weekend, Toronto will kick off the work week with a taste of summer.
Environment Canada is calling for sunshine and a high of 22 C on both Monday and Tuesday this week.
The pleasant forecast comes after Toronto saw periods of rain on and off throughout the weekend.
“I knew there was a risk of showers on Sunday but that ended up being a lot heavier...There was a line right over Toronto that just sat and sat with heavier rain,” CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said Monday.
“Fortunately, today and tomorrow everything dries out. It gives us a chance before more showers come back in on Wednesday. So I encourage you to take full advantage of today and tomorrow.”
Today’s forecast sees a return of seasonable temperatures after last week’s daytime highs dropped well below the average temperature for this time of year.
Cooler, wet weather will return midweek, with a high of just 14 C on Wednesday.
The city will also likely see rain on Thursday and Friday, which will see daytime highs of 17 C and 19 C on each day respectively, according to the national weather agency.
