It’s beginning to look a lot like…spring. But it’s not going to last.
On Monday, daytime temperature records were broken in many cities across southern Ontario, with some cities reaching almost 20 C.
The warmest place was St. Catharines, where it was estimated to be 21 C, breaking the previous record of 16.7, set in 1901. Welland also reached 19 C, breaking a record of 15.6 — also set in 1901.
Though it definitely felt more like spring than December in Toronto, no records were broken for the day. The mercury climbed to 12.7 C, falling short of the 1975 record of 15 C.
Records were broken in Peterborough, Kingston, Barrie, Goderich, Oshawa, Peterborough, along with many other cities in the region.
Even in Algonquin Park it was a balmy 10.7 C, which broke a record set in 1920 of 7.2 C.
But the spring-like weather isn’t going to last, though temperatures are expected to continue to be seasonal or above seasonal for the next few weeks. And it doesn’t look like the region will get a white Christmas.
Temperatures across the country have, for the most part, been milder than normal thanks to El Nino.
