Here’s a detailed forecast breakdown for Mississauga, Brampton, Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, Durham Region, and the Niagara Region this weekend.
Friday Forecast: Cold Front Arrives

Friday continues this trend, with daytime highs expected to reach only 13°C.

In the Niagara Region, Friday brings a slightly warmer high of 14°C, but overall, the cold front will be prevalent. Make sure to bundle up as temperatures drop rapidly once the sun goes down.
Saturday: Sunny but Cooler
While Saturday may offer a bit of respite from the rain, the day will remain on the cooler side. Expect highs between 7°C and 8°C, with overnight lows hovering around 2°C. The silver lining? It will be a mainly sunny day, making it an ideal time to enjoy any outdoor activities before rain returns later in the weekend.
However, dress warmly, as the brisk air will make it feel colder than the temperature suggests, especially in the early morning and late evening.
