Enjoy the warm weather while you can, another wild weather swing is expected this weekend in southern Ontario.
The temperature was expected to reach from 18 C to 21 C today (March 13) in Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Durham Region.
This high is close to the record warmest March 13, which was 21.4 C in 1990 for Mississauga, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
These temperatures are way above normal for this time of year.
The average high should be around 4 C and lows at about -6 C, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
But it appears we will get those temperatures soon.
