Toronto’s rollercoaster of temperatures is about to take another swing — this time towards a taste of spring-like warmth, as Environment Canada projects double-digit highs for March break. The warming trend begins Monday with a high of 9 C under mostly sunny skies. Officials say “a mix of sun and cloud” is expected in the afternoon. Tuesday will push slightly higher to 10 C with clear skies, though the evening will bring a sharp dip to -7 C heading to Wednesday. By Thursday, temperatures will climb to 11 C before peaking at 16 C on Friday, a high the city hasn’t seen so far, this year. Today’s forecast? Torontonians can expect “a mix of sun and cloud” with a high of 7 C officials say, adding that gusty northwest winds of up to 50 km/h will sweep through parts of the city. Heading into the evening, temperatures will hold at just 2 C. Next weekend’s forecast: ’60 per cent chance of showers’ While Friday’s warmth may have some people reaching for lighter jackets, experts suggest the first half of the weekend could take a turn. Saturday’s forecast calls for cloud cover and a 60 per cent chance of showers, with temperatures dropping slightly to a high of 12 C.
