29 h. ago Frost already landing in Ontario and here's the latest winter weather forecast

Citizens of Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario are on the lookout for the first frosts of the season this week as temperatures drop from the summery near-30s we saw in recent days to figures far more October-appropriate.Environment Canada issued frost advisories for GTA locales such as Vaughan, Markham, Newmarket and Richmond Hill on Wednesday, warning that thermometers were set to creep below the zero-degree point overnight into Thursday morning, and again Thursday night into Friday.While those in rural areas are bundling up any sensitive outdoor plants due to the sudden shift in weather, here in the city, Toronto Pearson International Airport has officially started de-icing some outgoing flights for the first time since last winter.If you love autumn, this settling-in of the spookiest, most colourful season of the year is likely great news. But, it may also have you wondering what's on deck, meteorologically, as we move toward the end of the year.Accordi...

8 d. ago Who decides if Rogers Centre roof opens for Toronto Blue Jays playoff games?

When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the field this Saturday for their first game of the playoffs, you can bet that it'll be quite the pop coming from the local crowd.It's been three years since the last time Toronto hosted a playoff game, and fans are eagerly anticipating how the American League East champions might fare this fall.But one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds is: will the game be played indoors or outdoors?The seven-day forecast from the Weather Network shows temperatures as high as 24°C on Saturday afternoon, which would conceivably be warm enough for an open roof for Toronto's first playoff game.But at the Rogers Centre, indoor playoff games have been the standard since its opening as the SkyDome way back in 1989. And while a fair-weather outdoor baseball game is one of the best ways to watch any sport, it's not usually the case come October in Toronto.The Jays have hosted just five outdoor playoff home games in their history: four in...

3 w. ago Ontario will see temperatures that feel hotter than 30 C this week

If you're not ready to bid farewell to patio season just yet, you'll have one last stretch of summer weather to enjoy this week in Ontario before cooler, classic fall conditions settle in.While there have been signs of frost across the province already, a ridge of high pressure moving in from the Prairies will bring a period of dry, warm conditions to the province this week. From Monday through Thursday, temperatures will rise back to the sweltering conditions experienced over the summer, reaching the mid-to-upper 20s in southern Ontario and around the Golden Horseshoe. By midweek, some areas, including southwestern Ontario, could see humidex values at or above the 30 degrees C mark. According to The Weather Network, it's expected to feel like 31 degrees C on Thursday in Windsor, and 30 degrees C in other municipalities like Chatham-Kent, Hamilton, and Kitchener. Toronto's weather forecast this week.

3 w. ago Here's what the next few months of fall weather will look like in Ontario

After a false introduction to fall a few weeks ago, Ontario has flip-flopped back to a bit of a late-summer heat wave to close out the final days of the warmer season. But don't let the 20+C temps fool you, as autumn proper is close on the horizon. And, new forecasts reveal what we can expect, weather-wise, in the weeks to come.With September 22 marking the first day of astronomical fall (and meteorological fall having already begun on September 1), the leaves are already changing, the seasonal events are already kicking off, and yes, the cooler conditions are on their way.Earlier outlooks from authorities like the Farmers' Almanac and Environment Canada called for a dry, pretty warm start to things that could gradually become more frigid and "unsettled" by mid-October.Now, The Weather Network has put forth its own predictions, too, with experts anticipating that above-normal temperatures will stick around across much of...
