Wind chill warning for
City of Toronto continued
Extreme wind chills from minus 35 to minus 40 tonight and Tuesday morning.
Cold brisk winds are expected to produce widespread dangerous wind chills of minus 30 to minus 35 beginning this evening. Wind chills can reach minus 35 to minus 40 overnight tonight and Tuesday morning.
Extreme caution is advised for people heading outdoors. Exposed skin may freeze in less than 5 minutes.
Currently (9 am, Jan 7, 2014), the temperature in Toronto and the North Pole is exactly the same (-20 Celcius). Except North Pole feels like -20 while Toronto feels like -35.
Cold snaps aren't as bad in Toronto than if you're out in, say, Guelph or Kitchener-Waterloo. Many cities in the U.S. that have warmer average winter temperatures than the U.S., such as Denver, Indianapolis, and Columbus, OH, and Albany, NY actually have worse cold snaps because they aren't near a large body of water like Toronto is.
Winters in Toronto are somewhat unpredictable, however 2013-2014 has been extremely cold so far. In late December and throughout January the average low temp was around -20c without the windchill factor. February hasn't been as cold this year but still slightly below average with high amount of precipitation . If you are planning moving to Toronto ,consider the fact you will be facing some harsh arctic weather conditions . On the other hand ,summers are a totally different story, it's very hot and humid . This is what you should expect from a city that lays in humid-contenial zone.

Yes, Toronto's winter temperature is too unpredictable, to the extent that the history average of -7C/-1C for downtown basically meaning nothing, and doesn't show the weather condition here at all. I suggest that weather stats should start disclosing variance as well, not just average.
Summer in Toronto is not "hot and humid" at all. It is rather comfortable. It feels hot and humid only to those from other parts of Canada with much higher lattitude I guess, but by global standards, Toronto's summer is pretty mild.
