Take it, PLEASE!
We have enough rain that we could be fine until Labour Day, rainless from today onwards.
As much as I enjoy the rain, I would rather have somewhat dry conditions during the autumn since it's my favorite season. Best time for hikes, tennis, golf, etc.

I am really in the mood for September or October weather today for some reason.

Last summer had a lot of rainy weekends. I believe NYC recorded several in a row.

Well it seems reasonable that for your favourite time of year, if you want to be outdoors you'd want it dry.
Autumn is my second least favourite season; I expect discomfort with or without rain.

In 2008, our first rainless summer weekend was Labour Day!
In 2009, we probably had 3-5 rainless weekends from Jun-Aug.

I'd be glad to as long as you stick out the winter (Sept - May) too lol

I get frustrated because its the only time of the year we have mild weather. After dealing with 4 hours of sunlight and negative temperatures for what seems like 8 months I wanna wear a T-Shirt and roll the windows down!

This is why ColdCanadian is so deprived of warm weather that 100+ F weather sounds like heaven. I sure know how it feels!

Wind burn, frostbite, hypothermia, cabin fever. Have you ever tried to start a vehicle at -50? Hahaha I guess it wears on a person I think I'm going a bit crazy

Lol.

Actually,
I enjoy 100 F temps by themselves when I'm not working.
I love them when I'm on vacation.

Toronto isn't that severe,
but we get a lot of weather that ranges from "very cool", "moderately cold", "very cold"...
in addition to some "severe cold" and "extreme cold" mixed into the months of Nov-Mar.
Spring and Autumn are seldom warm enough that the avg Canadian resident enjoys going sleeveless,
and obviously winter is far colder than that.

Most of the year our cold doesn't seem severe,
but our temps are low enough that it can feel like it never warms up.
We have a five month growing season (green season)
and 6 months where deciduous trees are completely leafless all because of cold,
and being in the Great Lakes, our daytime highs aren't much higher than our lows.
I suppose Toronto is intermediate between coastal BC and the Prairies, outside of summer.

Reading comments like this make me realise that it could be worse after all -- a lot worse! Coldest we've had this winter is only about -5 C.

Yeah... virtually all of Canada has a garbage climate as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry to rub it in but it was 19.4C (high 60s F) here yesterday and 10 hours of sun. Not bad for the middle of winter

Admittedly the warmest day this month but reading the Canadian comments, it does make me appreciate the climate here more!

Summers in Canadian Prairie provinces can be truly "feral" at times.

While Toronto always gets some summer highs from 17-19 C,
Calgary always seems to get some summer highs as low as 9 C.
I've seen a few years where they get heavy snowfall in early August.
It's like winter in the Canadian Prairies is never really *gone*, it just goes to sleep.

Toronto can still go 7 months straight without recording a single high of 19+ C/67+ F.
But at least Toronto has 4-5 solid months were winter is truly "dead and gone."
