It's expected to be 17°C and sunny in Toronto this afternoon

It looks like it’s finally going to feel like spring in Toronto, as a high of 17°C and sunshine are in the forecast for today.

This comes as a welcomed change from the soggy weather we experienced over the long weekend.

According to Environment Canada, following a foggy morning, a mix of sun and clouds and a warm high of 17°C is expected for Monday afternoon — which sounds like the perfect temperature for a patio visit.

However, if you’re near the waterfront, temperatures are only expected to reach a high of 12°C.
