Toronto is kicking off September with a misty start, thick fog, and rising humidity, bringing the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Environment Canada has issued a fog advisory for the city and parts of the eastern GTA, warning of near-zero visibility in certain areas.
The advisory, classified as yellow-level, was issued on Monday and will persist through Tuesday. It covers Toronto, Pickering-Oshawa-Southern Durham, and Vaughan-Richmond Hill-Markham regions. Although visibility is expected to improve later in the morning, commuters are urged to exercise caution as mist and fog could still linger.
Before sunrise, much of the region was shrouded in mist and fog, posing challenges for those on the roads. Canada’s weather agency has advised drivers to slow down and use headlights to navigate through the low visibility conditions. Once the fog dissipates, Toronto can anticipate a mix of clouds, sunny intervals, and scattered showers, with the possibility of thunderstorms cropping up during the day.
The day is set to heat up to a high of 28°C, but with the humidex soaring to 36, it will feel much hotter, marking the beginning of a humid spell. The forecast suggests partly cloudy conditions persisting, with the ongoing risk of thunderstorms and a mild overnight low of 20°C.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, unsettled weather is expected to continue. The day is projected to be warm and muggy, with showers and thunderstorms likely, a high of 28°C, and a humidex reading of 37. Overnight, temperatures are forecasted to drop to 18°C, offering little respite from the muggy conditions.
Thursday appears to stay mostly cloudy, with the possibility of showers or thunderstorms and a high of 26°C. By Friday, the weather is anticipated to calm down and dry up, presenting a mix of sunshine and clouds, with a high near 26°C, marking a break from the recent unsettled pattern.
