Severe thunderstorm warning for Toronto has ended

TORONTO — A severe thunderstorm warning for Toronto has ended, Environment Canada says.

The weather agency said earlier on Thursday that meteorologists were tracking a line of severe thunderstorms “capable of producing very strong wind gusts and heavy rain.”

Residents were warned of the possibility of torrential rainfall leading to localized flooding, with 90 km/h wind gusts and nickel size hail.

The thunderstorm warning came alongside a heat warning in the City of Toronto Thursday, where the daytime highs hit 30C to 32C, with humidex values of 38C to 42C.
