GTA residents bask in summer-like weather

TORONTO – We may have had a long winter, but spring seems to be trying to make up for it.

Temperatures around the Greater Toronto Area this weekend soared above 22 degrees Celsius in some areas. Patios and parks were filled with people taking in the spring sunshine and warmth. With the opening of Canada’s Wonderland and Centre Island, it certainly felt like summer to most folks.

Though the temperatures are higher than normal, Toronto didn’t come close to the record high of 34.4 for the month of May, set on May 16, 1962.

The summer temperatures are expected to continue for the rest of the week.
