Toronto's forecast for Friday is a new record and how much snow the city is missing

Toronto's weather forecast broke a new record on Friday.

While Ontario is experiencing “February warmth,” Toronto is seeing temperatures that don't usually arrive until spring.

The Weather Network says cooler weather will return soon, so enjoy some warm weather nearby.

On Friday, CTV reported that Toronto broke an 86-year-old record, with the temperature at Toronto Pearson International Airport reaching 11.4 degrees, breaking the previous record of 10.6 degrees.

According to TWN, temperatures in southern Ontario will soar 15 degrees above “normal” in some places.

“Regardless of temperature records being broken or not, Friday will see temperatures in Toronto reach double digits for the first time since December 15,” the network added.

Temperatures could reach 12 or 13 degrees in the city and Greater Toronto Area.

Amid the high temperatures in the forecast, Toronto's Pearson International Airport noted how much snow the area has received over the winter, and how little it had for last year.

“We've only seen 40.4cm of snow this winter, about 34cm less than the same period last year,” the airport tweeted on Friday.

The Weather Network advises people to enjoy warm weather on Friday before temperatures drop from “their highs” by Saturday.

Scattered showers are possible throughout the day on Saturday. However, seasonal conditions are still expected in the high 10s.

TWN adds that despite warming in Ontario, “the underlying pattern will change next week as temperatures cool.”

Temperatures are expected to drop to 3C by Sunday and snow is expected towards the end of next week.
