Toronto is experiencing a stretch of unusually low temperatures that haven’t been seen in late May in decades.
Environment Canada is forecasting a daytime high of 10 C on Thursday – just a touch warmer than a record low set on May 22, 1967.
Meteorologist Geoff Coulson said the daytime high forecast for Thursday is the normal nighttime low temperature for this time of year, and significantly below the typical daytime high of 20 C.
“In fact, the record for the coldest daytime high temperature at the airport in Toronto for May 22 … is 9.4 degrees, set back in 1967,” he said.
“It is important to note that up until this point, this May, we haven’t really been too far off the average temperature, but it certainly looks like we’re going to finish off the month on the cooler-than-normal side.”
