Seeking the warmth, Toronto? Head north...the Far North
So, where has Toronto's seasonal spring weather gone? Would you believe us if we said the North?...and we mean the Far North!
It’s uncommon to think of travelling north to escape chillier spring weather, but this upcoming weekend’s backwards weather pattern has Northern Canada warmer than Toronto, Ont.

Coming up is a chilly weekend ahead for the City of Toronto.
Hiding under a pesky, cold low, rainfall and cloud cover, daytime highs will fail to reach the 15-degree seasonal mark. They even struggle to get into the double digits. This may come as a surprise to millions since we just experienced a long stretch of 20-degree weather only a few weeks ago.
So, where has the seasonal spring weather gone? Would you believe us if we said the North?...and we mean the Far North!
Well it's true. North of the 60th parallel, just shy of the Arctic Circle, sits Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories.
Benefitting from a growing western ridge, while a stubborn trough sits over the Great Lakes, temperatures soar into what Toronto’s spring highs should be: The mid-teens. This is not just a one-off, either, as Fort Simpson is expected to be warmer than Toronto all weekend, perhaps lingering into May.
For many Torontonians, mid-to-high teens and sunshine is a weekend weather win. However, they will have to travel more than 3,000 km northwest to get the pleasant conditions.
