Live rain radar, current conditions, an hour-by-hour outlook and a seven-day forecast for Toronto, with original writing about the city's climate from The Daily Toronto.

Today's briefing

Toronto is warming up nicely this morning at 25 degrees, though the humidity will make it feel closer to 27, with a high of just 26 degrees and virtually no chance of rain today. The UV index is sitting at a high 7, so sunscreen is definitely worth slathering on if you're spending time outdoors, and those light layers will help you manage the warmth whilst the 18 kilometre per hour wind keeps things from feeling too muggy. Pull on your favourite t-shirt and shorts, but don't leave home without a light jumper since the evening will cool to around 20 degrees. The weekend is looking equally pleasant with Saturday reaching 25 degrees and Sunday warming to 26, both days keeping the rain chances well under 10 percent, so you've got a cracker of a few days ahead.

Toronto weather, explained

How to read the Toronto forecast

A good forecast is really three views at once. The current panel tells you what it feels like outside right now, which is what matters before you head out the door. The hourly strip is for planning the next part of your day: when the rain band arrives, when the wind picks up, when it is warm enough to walk. The seven-day outlook is for the week ahead, and it is most reliable in the first three or four days. Read it from the top down and you will almost always have what you need for Toronto.

What the UV index actually means

The UV index rates the strength of the sun's ultraviolet radiation on a simple scale. Below 3 is low and you can be outside safely without protection. From 3 to 7 is moderate to high, the point at which sunburn becomes likely within an hour, so a hat and sunscreen earn their keep. Above 8 is very high to extreme, and skin can burn in minutes around the middle of the day. The index peaks at solar noon, not at the hottest part of the afternoon, so the safest habit is to check the number rather than judge by the temperature.

Why the overnight low matters as much as the high

Daytime maximums get the headlines, but the overnight minimum shapes how the day actually feels. A cold night means a slow, crisp start and, on clear evenings, the chance of fog or frost before dawn. A mild night means the warmth carries over and the morning is comfortable from the outset. Clear skies let heat escape and push the low down; cloud cover traps it and keeps the night warmer. That is why two days with the same maximum can feel completely different depending on the night that came before.
