Toronto just smashed a 33-year-old cold temperature record

If you stepped outside at all this morning, you know that it’s cold AF.

In fact, it was so cold in the city Wednesday morning that Toronto smashed a 33-year-old cold temperature record for November 13, which was previously set in 1986.

Back then, the cold temperature record was set at -9.6°C, which was smashed on Wednesday morning as temperatures dropped to -13°C, which felt more like -18°C with the wind chill, according to Environment Canada. 

But this isn’t the only record that was broken this week.

Following Monday’s intense snowfall, which saw a whopping 13.6 cm land in the city, Toronto broke its previous snowfall record for November 11, which was previously set in 1983, when just 3 cm fell across the city.

And it looks like the blast of winter weather won’t be leaving any time soon, as more flurries and below-freezing temperatures are in the forecast for the rest of the week.

Meanwhile, temperatures are expected to reach a high of -4°C in Toronto this afternoon, which will feel like -9°C with the windchill. A chance of flurries is possible throughout the day and overnight.

This evening, temperatures are expected to remain below freezing tonight at -4°C, leaving the city feeling more like -9°C.

Meanwhile, an Extreme Cold Weather Alert issued by Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health on Tuesday still remains in effect until further notice.

Stay warm, Toronto.
