Being hot or not can be subjective, I give you that. All I am saying is among all the cities, Toronto hardly makes one of the 50% hot ones, and would probably fall under the least 20% category. If one still thinks it is hot and humid, fine, just keep in mind that 80% other cities are hotter, and that's indisputable.
Are you still going on about this.... You always like to have the last word don't you lol talk to the

Now go have a glass of WARM water and CHILL out - all this HOT weather is making you

I'm an Australian, visited toronto last august, basically 10 days of perfect weather, about 25c max on most days, I think one day hit 27c and the weatherman on tv described it as "scorching"....pretty much couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day.

Although to be fair you would all probably laugh when we describe 10c as "freezing" in winter.

Guess it's all relative to where you have grown up, but my small sampling of a toronto summer was basically heaven if you hate the heat, very very comfortable, in January 2014 Melbourne had a streak of something like 6 days +40...now that's scorching!

It could have just been the week you visited. You know Toronto has higher average highs than Melbourne in the relative summer months? It can get just as hot in Toronto. Melbourne average high in January and February is 25.9 and 25.8 while Toronto in July and August is 26.8 and 25.6.

We don't get consistent weather, one week in January here could be 18-20c and the following week every day could be in the mid 30s so the averages are misleading as it's up and down, the dry heat here is very extreme though, step outside your house on a 35-40c day in melbourne is like walking into fire. In the summer of 2013-14 we had 7+ days of 40+.

If toronto is consistently in the mid to high 20s with the odd 30+ believe me you're having a very comfortable summer! Come here and experience a summer week that goes something like Monday 22c Tuesday 24c Wednesday 31c Thursday 30c Friday 39c Saturday 20c Sunday 40c...that's what a week in January or February can often look like here. The extreme dropping and rising temperatures in quick succession are brutal! We of course get the more comfortable winter..which we still complain about lol.

Toronto often goes well into the 30s in summer, and humidex readings well into the 40s as well at times. My city southwest of Toronto has an all time high of 40.2c. Our region also experiences swings in temperatures, but it never gets cool here in the summer, just warm to hot.

Yes. Maybe not as often, but yes.

that makes a big difference. Which city is hotter

A: 3 days over 35C a year, 10 days between 30-35, and 40 days between 25-30, with the absolute high of 41C.

B: 30 days over 35C a year, 40 days between 30-35, and 40 days between 25-30, with the absolute high of 40C.

I would call B considerable hotter, although A can be even hotter on a couple of days a year.

Kentucky at one point was colder than the north pole this year. But we all know winters there are much more bearable than Canada. No one is going to say kentucky is too cold. Unless you are from somewhere hotter of course.
