It was so warm on Monday that Toronto had its warmest February 4 in nearly three decades, breaking a temperature record that was previously set 27 years ago.
According to Environment Canada, the current high in Toronto is 12°C, surpassing the previous record for a February 4 set in 1991 when temperatures reached 11°C.
The average high for this time of year is -2.2°C, which is almost 15°C colder than what we’re feeling today.
While today is warm, it’s going to get wet tonight as periods of rain are expected.
