“It's been delightfully mild for this time of the year.”

The normal temperatures for this time of year are a high of 11 C and a low of 2 C.

“Here in Ontario and Quebec, we have this large ridge, this high-pressure area that just brings a kind of summery, fair weather to us," Phillips said on Sunday.

There will be a mix of sun and cloud today. High 24 C.
