With Halloween behind us, it's officially the holiday season in Toronto. Stores are already filled with tinsel, trees and festive displays and red Starbucks cups are littered about. Despite this Christmas cheer, the city will be feeling quite balmy over the next few days.

You can put away your fall jacket for now because temperatures will soar to nearly 20 C this week.

Environment Canada is forecasting sunny skies and a high of 17 C for Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, it's supposed to be sunny and 19 C. While it may rain on Friday, the expected high is still 16 C.

It's doubtful that we'll break any records, but this is very likely the last reprieve from the cold that we'll get before it's snow time. Pout.

Enjoy this warm weather while it lasts because by the weekend it'll be back to seasonal fall temperatures.

How will you take advantage of this November heat wave? Let us know in the comments.
