Check the live conditions above for your local temperature and sky cover, then plan around today’s highs ranging from 2°C to 12°C across most of southern Canada—meaning a mild but mixed day with rain or wet flurries in several regions.
What are the key numbers for Canada weather today?
Highs this afternoon reach 8–12°C in southern Ontario and Quebec, with a low-pressure system tracking east bringing rain to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Whitby. The Prairies see 2–6°C under partly cloudy skies, while coastal British Columbia sits at 6–10°C with drizzle. Northern areas, including Orillia and parts of Vaughan, hover near freezing with a chance of wet snow.
Will rain or snow affect my commute?
Rain spreads across the Greater Toronto Area and weather Whitby ON by midday, tapering to showers late afternoon. For those checking weather Niagara Falls, expect steady drizzle through the morning. A separate system brings light flurries to weather Orillia and higher elevations near Vaughan, but accumulation stays under 2 cm. If you’re watching weather Canada radar, a band of mixed precipitation is moving east from Lake Huron.
What about the weekend outlook?
A ridge of high pressure builds in from the west Saturday, clearing skies for most of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Southern Ontario and Quebec remain unsettled, with a 40% chance of showers. For a detailed look ahead, see our Weather Forecast Canada page. For live radar and warnings, check Canada Weather Warnings.
Will the rain last all day in southern Ontario?
No. The rain is tied to a fast-moving trough that clears by early evening. Showers become intermittent after 3 p.m., and skies partially clear overnight. The Weather Network Canada tracks this system hour by hour.
Is there any severe weather risk today?
No widespread severe weather is expected. A few gusts near 50 km/h along Lake Ontario may cause minor blowing spray, but no warnings are issued. Stay updated with Weather Warning pages for changes.
How accurate is the forecast for weather Vaughan today?
Short-term models show high confidence (85%) for rain timing and temperature. Vaughan’s inland position means slightly cooler highs near 8°C compared to lakeside areas. Check Weather Today for hourly updates.
