This may come as a surprise, but yesterday was the hottest day of the year in Toronto at 31.8 degrees.

After today’s torrential downpour, it seems like the city is exclusively experiencing extreme weather this week.

Based on Environment Canada’s forecast, this record won’t last long. The weather this weekend looks like it will easily beat yesterday’s high.
