Flight delays have been reported at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Thursday morning due to exceptionally foggy conditions, NAV Canada says.
The exact number of flights impacted by the weather is not clear.
Toronto is currently under a fog advisory, with Environment Canada warning of near-zero visibility is some areas.
The fog is expected to clear later this morning and will set the stage for potentially record-breaking warmth this afternoon.
Environment Canada is calling for a high of 22 C, reaching record-breaking territory. The warmest Oct. 29 on record was back in 1946 when the temperature hit 22.2 C.

“Mother Nature is dealing us a very gentle hand,” CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said Thursday.
“Most days in the long-range forecast look to be at or above the norm with more dry days than not.”
Humidity caused significant fog on Thursday morning, prompting the national weather agency to issue a fog advisory for Toronto. There is a chance of showers on Thursday afternoon.
The temperature will drop down to a low of 8 C overnight and on Friday, the mercury is expected to rise to 14 C, about four degrees warmer than normal for this time of year.
The weather should cooperate nicely with trick-or-treaters on Saturday. Environment Canada said Toronto will see mainly sunny skies and pleasant light winds with a high of 14 C on Halloween.
The warm weather is expected to continue into next week.
Sunday and Monday will see sunshine and a high of 16 C and 15 C on each day respectively.
