What's the weather like in Toronto in March?

Located in the east of Canada on the shores of Lake Ontario, the city of Toronto has a continental climate with very cold winters and warm summers. In March the weather’s getting warmer after the brisk winter season. It’s still common for temperatures to dip below freezing though, so you’ll need hats, scarves and gloves at this time of year. If you don’t mind the cold and want to avoid the high season crowds, March is a month worth considering for your holiday to Toronto.
