Two massive summer storms in 2024 have contributed to Toronto Pearson International Airport experiencing its wettest year on record, with 1,145 millimeters of precipitation. This surpasses the previous record set in 2008 by almost 100 millimeters and the 30-year average by over 300 millimeters. The storms, each delivering over 100 millimeters of rain, caused over $1 billion in insured damages in Ontario.
TORONTO — Environment Canada says two massive summer storms helped catapult Toronto's Pearson International Airport to its wettest year on record.
Flisfeder says the airport station was hit by once-in-a-century storms in both July and August that each delivered more than 100 millimetres of rain. He says the vast majority of the province was either right around normal precipitation levels or slightly below, when compared to the 30-year average from 1991 to 2020.
