Environment Canada's forecast calls for temperatures to warm up to 14 C today, 16 C on Friday and 18 C on Saturday. Temperatures are expected to remain in the double digits into next week.
"Your seven-day forecast, it's so delightfully boring. No weather, just beautiful weather," David Phillips, Environment Canada senior climatologist, told CTV Morning Live's Melissa Lamb Thursday morning.
"It's really tough to get a good stretch of weather like that in late October. It's a gift from nature."
It will be mainly sunny today. High 14 C.
