Toronto is in for one last delicious taste of summer as we enter the second half of September.

Friday will be warm and mainly sunny with a high of 27 C, Environment Canada says. The weekend is also expected to be sunny with highs of 28 C and 27 C on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Average temperatures for mid-September usually hover around the 21 C mark, so this weekend’s forecast will be 6 or 7 degrees warmer than usual.

However, Glenn Robinson – a meteorologist with Environment Canada – says this weekend won’t be a record-breaker.

“It’s well above normal, for sure, but it’s not (a) record,” Robinson said, adding that 30 C is the record high for the next 10 days.

The rest of the week will be similar to the weekend, mostly sunny with temperatures in the high to mid 20s.

Monday is expected to have a high of 27 C, but a 30 per cent chance of rain may dampen your start to the week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are expected to have highs of 26 C, 25 C and 24 C, the weather agency predicts.

Unlike the sweater weather we experienced in the first week of September, when nightly lows dropped into the single digits, this week’s overnight temperatures will also be several degrees higher than normal, hovering between 13 C and 18 C.

If you’re waiting impatiently for fall to come and don’t like the hot summer weather, just be grateful it’s 2017 and not 1973, when the lowest recorded temperature for Sept. 17 hit -1.1 C, according to Environment Canada.
