Environment Canada has ended a severe thunderstorm watch for the City of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
The watch was ended shortly after 11 p.m.
The watch, which had been in effect for much of southern Ontario on Thursday, warned that severe thunderstorms could develop with the possibility of hail, damaging winds, heavy rain and intense frequent lightning strikes.
Earlier Thursday, bands of thunderstorms moved across parts of southern Ontario, bringing rain, lightning and small hail to some communities.
Man injured by lightning, police say
Waterloo Regional Police said a man was injured by a lightning strike as one of those storms went through Cambridge.
Police told CP24 the man, whose age hasn't been released, is expected to be OK after the incident, which occurred in the parking lot of a Toyota plant at about 7:45 a.m.
A second man told police he was close enough to feel the effects of the lightning bolt.
Both men were conscious and alert when they were taken to hospital for observation.
Temperature record remains
Thunderstorms were rolling across southern Ontario as the region enjoyed another day of unseasonably warm weather.
May-like temperatures continued in Toronto, where the temperature hit 16.8 C at Pearson International Airport. The record of 20.9 C for March 15 was set in 1995.
Fog patches are expected to develop early Friday morning as the rain ends and the temperature dips to 11 C.
The weekend is shaping up to be pleasant with highs of 20 C expected on Friday, 19 C on Saturday and 22 C on Sunday.
If the long-term forecast holds, March will continue to be a scorcher – compared to normal temperatures, at least – with highs of 19 C Monday to Wednesday.
