A rainfall warning has now been issued for the City of Toronto, with the remnants of Hurricane Beryl expected to result in torrential downpours overnight and into tomorrow.
Environment Canada issued the warning on Tuesday afternoon. It replaces a special weather statement that was previously in effect.
The weather agency says that there could be rainfall totals of 40 to 60 millimetres across most of southern Ontario as a result of the storm, with higher amounts possible in some areas.
“Periods of heavy rainfall associated with the remnants of Hurricane Beryl will affect portions of southern Ontario beginning overnight or Wednesday morning. These types of weather systems can give very high rainfall rates in torrential downpours,” the warning states.
“Rainfall amounts will likely be highly variable across the region, and some areas may receive in excess of 60 mm.”
