Talk:Geography of Toronto

Toronto's Snowiest Month
I'm going to change the information on "Toronto's snowiest month" being January 1999. That was in fact Toronto's snowiest January, however, the snowiest month overall occured over 100 years earlier in March 1870 when 158.5cm fell.

I made the graph collapsible and gave it its own section (Statistics), the article needs more work, I would suggest splitting Climate into a couple sub sections and expanding on the geography part. Vidioman 17:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Is it just me, or are the calculations for cm to inches in the table for snow different to the calculations for cm to inches for rain. The numbers aren't adding up for me. Any suggestions? AD227529 (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

November 2000 Snow Storm
Should this be mentioned? It is a fairly notible point in Toronto's climate history, so it should have a place here.

Here. CBC article on the subject: http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/1999/01/14/snow990114.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.205.237 (talk) 20:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That article is dated Nov. 2000, but the storm in question occurred in January 1999, which is mentioned in the entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.92.36 (talk) 11:23, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Introductory Comment
I removed the mention of Toronto being one of "Canada's least snowiest climates east of the Rockie mountains" as it's factually incorrect. Almost all locations on the prairies receive less snow per annum than Toronto does. 76.69.92.36 (talk) 11:32, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Outdated Records
The June humidex record at Pearson has been broken this year with a reading of 46 on June 30th.

Also, I noticed a wind chill reading of -41 on February 15th, 2015, which is the new record low wind chill for February at Pearson.

The all time July record high at Pearson should be 37.9 C on July 21st, 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.114.200.242 (talk • contribs)

Questionable...
The article currently says: "The Don River is categorized as an underfit river, given that river is too small for its much wider and deeper valley." Surely this applies to all the rivers in Toronto? Geo Swan (talk) 02:51, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * They indeed could, just that the Don River is a better example, since the Don is smaller than the Humber or the Rouge. Johnny Au  (talk/contributions) 00:07, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
