Toronto has seen multiple rainfall records fall recently, and now its wettest summer ever is an additional feather in its meteorological cap
You may have noticed all of the rain in Toronto, Ont., this summer, resulting in multiple flooding events, travel disruptions and other inconveniences for any planned outings.
It’s not just your imagination. It has been quite rainy in Canada’s most populated city this summer, leading to numerous records being set, including its wettest day and July ever.

And it’s been quite a destructive season. The July 16 flooding in Toronto and southern Ontario resulted in more than $940 million worth of insured damage, the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) announced Monday.
Well, now you can add two more records to Toronto’s impressive rainfall accolades: Its wettest August and summer ever.
For the former record, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport has documented 168.5 mm of rainfall this month so far, compared to the previous high of 163.5 mm that was set in August 1968.
And now we can say the summer of 2024 is its wettest on record.
