Toronto is in for some wet weather Friday with as much as 30 millimetres of rain expected to fall in the city today.
A special weather statement was issued for Toronto and much of the Golden Horseshoe on Thursday as parts of Eastern Canada prepare for heavy downpours.
Jennifer Smith, Environment and Climate Change Canada’s national warning preparedness meteorologist, said heavy downpours could cause localized flooding in urban environments. She said there could be “significant impacts” in large urban centres, such as Ottawa, Montreal, and potentially even Toronto.
Just three weeks ago, Toronto experienced widespread flooding and power outages after nearly 100 millimetres of rain fell within a three-hour period. Environment Canada Senior Climatologist Dave Phillips told CP24 Friday that Toronto likely won’t break any rainfall records today.Phillips said depending on the rainfall amounts seen this month, this summer could be Toronto’s wettest on record.
