Toronto

Travellers to Toronto would be well advised to check weather forecasts before booking. Winters are bitterly cold with January temperatures rarely struggling above zero. These icy temperatures are compounded by frosty winds blowing across Lake Ontario which turn Toronto's boulevards into Arctic wind tunnels.

Midsummer temperatures, by contrast hover around a humid 26°C. These temperatures can become somewhat stifling in the centre of town and visitors might want to consider travelling in the spring instead. The weather is usually pleasant and mild and you won't experience the same horrific queues for top attractions like the Niagara Falls and CN Tower.
