However, those of you up in cottage country will be stuck inside thanks to incoming showers and thunderstorms on Thursday.
Yet, the rain won't be breaking the heat. The muggy weather is expected to last into early next week.
"The first cold front that was expected for early next week won't make it to southern Ontario, so muggy weather will continue into early next week," meteorologist Doug Gillham added.
"Still uncertainty in the timing of the second front and how far south it gets."
According to the Toronto forecast, rain is also expected on next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
