Toronto is expected to see a brief period of rain before improving conditions ahead of the FIFA World Cup opening match on Friday afternoon. City News Toronto reports that a few rain showers are possible this morning, but the precipitation is forecast to end around 8 a.m. As the day progresses, weather conditions are expected to become warmer and breezier leading into kickoff. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. local time, and the forecast indicates that the earlier showers are unlikely to prevent spectators from attending the game.
The outlet’s guidance suggests residents and fans may still want to be prepared for wet weather in the early morning hours, such as bringing a towel, even though conditions are expected to improve well before the afternoon kickoff. Overall, the forecast points to an easing of rain and more favourable conditions by mid-afternoon in Toronto.
