Ontario's weather is calling for one of the 'best weekends of the year' and TBH we deserve it
It's the last full weekend of summer, and it'll finally feel like it! 🌅
Sunny days in Toronto and Ottawa (illustrative).
Summer might be winding down, but it's not over yet — and Ontario's weather forecast clearly saved the best for last.
If you're not ready to let go of those classic summer vibes, eastern and southern Ontario's weather this weekend is about to deliver big time with sunshine, warm temps and almost zero chance of rain.
According to the latest forecast from The Weather Network, the final full weekend of summer 2024 is shaping up to be one of the best of the year. So, whether you're planning to hit the beach, hang out in the backyard or get in one last summery road trip, the weather is totally on your side this time.
Let's break down what you can expect this weekend.
Sunny skies and high temps to kick off Friday
Say goodbye to the gloomy vibes of last weekend and the start to this week, because Friday's forecast is bringing nothing but sunshine and warm weather. Temperatures will be soaring into the upper 20s, and some places might even hit 30 degrees. It's the perfect excuse to get outside and soak up some sun before fall officially arrives on September 22.
Saturday is bringing more sunshine
Saturday's going to feel like a continuation of Friday with mostly sunny skies and warm temps. However, if you're hanging around Lake Ontario, expect things to be a couple of degrees cooler. Still, we're talking a difference between highs of 29 in London, 28 in Peterborough and 27 in Ottawa versus 26 in Toronto, Hamilton and Kingston. Nothing to turn your nose up at!
By night, the temperatures will stay mild, with the lake effect having the advantage this time — so don't worry about needing a sweater until later in the evening.
Sunday's a copy-paste of Saturday — with one small catch
Sunday will be just as sunny and warm as Saturday, but there's a tiny chance things could change if the remnants of Hurricane Francine shift north. If that happens, some areas might see a quick shower late in the day. But for now, keep the picnic plans — it's mostly looking like smooth sailing.
The good vibes just keep coming
If you're not ready to say goodbye to summer, there's more good news! The warm, sunny weather is expected to stick around well into next week, possibly even pushing into the official start of fall. So, make sure you take full advantage of this last stretch of beautiful weather before the sweaters come out for good.
