Normal operations have resumed at Toronto Pearson Airport after dense fog grounded several flights Wednesday.
Environment Canada issued a fog advisory on Wednesday morning indicating “near zero visibility in fog is expected or occurring.”
Toronto Pearson Airport said the dense fog created low visibility at the airport, causing some flights to be grounded.
Just before 5 p.m., the airport said normal operations had resumed. However, the airport said in a social media post that more rain and fog are expected in Toronto and at other airports.
“It may take some time for delayed flights to catch up,” the airport said.
Toronto’s forecast until Sunday is expected to have daytime temperatures above the freezing mark. Wednesday is set to see a high of 3 C, Thursday with 4 C and Friday with 6 C. All days are expected to be cloudy with the possibility of rain or snow.
The warmer temperatures come as the city experienced a bout of extreme cold temperatures the previous week.
“Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero,” the weather agency said in its advisory.
“If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.”
