Cold Weather Forecasts Flurries In Southern Ontario

A chilly start to March 26, with wind chills making it feel like negative temperatures.

The forecast for March 26, 2025, indicates potential wintry weather in the Greater Toronto Area and southern Ontario. According to Environment Canada, residents should anticipate a chilly start to Wednesday, with a 30% chance of flurries early in the day.

The weather will feature winds blowing at approximately 20 kilometers per hour, with gusts reaching up to 40 kilometers per hour across much of the region. The frigid daytime high will hover around 2 degrees Celsius; however, with the wind chill factored in, it will feel like a biting minus 8 degrees in major urban centers such as Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton. Meanwhile, in Hamilton, it could feel even colder, dipping to minus 9 degrees.

While skies are expected to remain mostly cloudy throughout the Peel, Durham, and Niagara Falls areas, there’s a silver lining on the forecast. Conditions are predicted to clear into the evening hours, offering residents a respite from the dreary weather.

As the sun sets, overnight temperatures will stabilize, reaching a low of 4 degrees Celsius, but again, the wind chill will drop this to an unwelcoming minus 8 degrees overnight, making it essential for residents to dress warmly.

Looking ahead, Thursday is expected to bring an uplifting change with sunny skies and a daytime high of 6 degrees Celsius. However, the evening will not be without its surprises, as a 30% chance of showers may emerge as clouds roll back in.

The weather forecast for the coming days serves as a reminder of the lingering effects of winter on the region even as the calendar inches closer to April. Residents are urged to take precautions against the cold, particularly when venturing outside, to mitigate the impacts of the extreme wind chill.

Stay tuned to local weather reports and Environment Canada updates for real-time information and adjustments to the forecast as the day progresses.
