Forecasting Your Toronto Vacation
Toronto experiences four distinct seasons with little to no drought conditions. Its proximity to water lends to humid summers and cold winters-both manageable and non-intrusive to vacationers. Of course, the Great White North is known for its harsh winters. However, Toronto's southerly location is a boon to more mild weather than most of its sister cities. Generally, winter isn't a nuisance to Toronto city-dwellers.
