Torontonians will see some relief Wednesday now that a three-day heat event that sent temperatures soaring throughout the region and the province has ended.
The heat wave that gripped much of Ontario has subsided and on Wednesday morning, Environment Canada lifted a heat warning that had previously been issued for Toronto.
Despite some easing of the hot and humid weather, Wednesday will still see a balmy high of 29 C, feeling closer to 34 when factoring in the humidity.
According to Environment Canada, a heat wave is defined as 'a period with more than three consecutive days of maximum temperatures at or above 32°C/ 90°F.'
'It seems we've already moved past the hurdle of high heat and humidity,' CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said, adding that Wednesday will still be a 'very warm day.'
'Some morning cloud and the risk for an isolated shower will dissipate later this morning, revealing partly cloudy skies this afternoon and a beach or pool-worthy high of 30 C.'
Much cooler temperatures are on tap for the remainder of the week, with daytime highs of 22 C and 26 C on Thursday and Friday respectively.
Along with more seasonable temperatures, Toronto could see a stretch of rainy weather. Environment Canada is calling for a chance of rain on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The cloudy, wet weather won't be sticking around. The national weather agency says sunshine returns on Sunday, which will see a high of 29 C.
Monday and Tuesday will see periods of sun and cloud with daytime highs of 30 C and 29 C on each day respectively.

This year's Fête nationale was hottest June day on record in Montreal
Miguel Roque from Portugal escapes the humidity by reading in the shade of Lafontaine Park as Environment Canada issues a heat warning for the greater Montreal area, with humidex values in the low to mid forties on Monday, June 23, 2025. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press) Tuesday's Fête nationale holiday was the hottest June day in Montreal since records started. Environment Canada says temperatures hit 35.6 C, breaking the all-time high for June set 61 years ago. The previous monthly high of 35 C was set on June 30, 1964, recorded at Montreal's Trudeau Airport, where records have been kept since 1942. As Montreal sweltered, heat and humidity also enveloped much of Ontario and the eastern half of the United States, where major cities like New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston all recorded temperatures above 38 C. The U.S. National Weather Service expected dozens of places to tie or set new daily temperature records on Tuesday. Environment Canada says that aside from Montreal, other Quebec cities and towns set records on Tuesday including Trois-Rivières, Victoriaville and Baie-Comeau. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2025. — With files from The Associated Press

Tornado watch issued for Saskatoon, North Battleford and surrounding areas
Residents in Saskatoon, North Battleford and their surrounding areas should be on the lookout as Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) warns of thunderstorms and potential tornadoes. The tornado watch was issued at 12:23 p.m. Wednesday and spans as far north as Onion Lake, and as far south as Manitou Beach. A severe thunderstorm watch also covers much of the province's southwest, including the communities of Kindersley, Swift Current and Moose Jaw. ECCC says a low-pressure system over central Alberta is expected to trigger scattered thunderstorms in the region. 'Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches,' the advisory reads. According to the weather agency, conditions are favourable for strong winds, large hail, heavy rain and possible tornadoes. In the event of a tornado, ECCC advises residents to move indoors, preferably to a room on the lowest floor, staying away from outside walls and windows. The tornado watch follows a string of severe weather that slammed the province late last week. June 19 saw eight tornadoes touch down across east central and southeast Saskatchewan.
