Last night, the low reached just 26.6 C at 5 a.m., and then started to rise again. By 6 a.m., it was already 27 C.  This time of year, the overnight low is normally around 17 C.

The daytime temperature today was expected to reach - and succeeded - a scorching 37 C. Toronto has only been that hot once, when it reached 38.3 C on August 25, 1948 according to measurements at Pearson airport.
