"Rob Kuhn, a severe weather meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada, says the normal high temperature for the first week of October is between 15 and 17 C, but this weekend's highs could reach around 27 to 30 C across southern Ontario. Kuhn says such weather patterns aren't unprecedented as highs into the 20s and up to 30 C have been recorded in the past, but Ontarians don't get to experience July-like temperatures in October too often."
"He says the highest temperature recorded in southern Ontario was 30 C to 31 C and the highs of this weekend could get close to that or even set new daily records for Saturday to Monday in some areas including in Toronto and Ottawa. The ECCC meteorologist says the showers forecasted for Tuesday are expected to bring the temperature down the next day to nearly normal for early October."
""It's perfect for going to the beach, enjoying a midsummer day in October," he said in a phone interview. "The water in the Great Lakes will not be as warm as it was in the midsummer, so they should be aware of that, but it may still be, you know, decent enough that some folks might actually go in or at least wade into the water.""
Normal highs for the first week of October in Ontario are between 15 and 17 C, but temperatures will reach around 27 to 30 C across southern Ontario this weekend. Similar patterns have occurred historically, with past highs into the 20s and up to 30–31 C, and some locations including Toronto and Ottawa could approach or set new daily records from Saturday to Monday. Showers on Tuesday are expected to lower temperatures back to near-normal values for early October. Northeast Ontario communities such as Sudbury, Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie will also see hotter-than-normal days around 26–29 C. Beach visits are possible, though Great Lakes water will be cooler than the air.
