Best time to visit Toronto from Australia
May to September is the best time to visit Toronto. Summer from June to August brings warm temperatures of 22 to 28 degrees and the city's outdoor festivals including Caribana (Caribbean Carnival) in late July and early August, and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. Spring from May to June has pleasant temperatures of 14 to 22 degrees with blooming High Park cherry blossoms in early May. Autumn from September to November has gorgeous foliage colours with temperatures of 8 to 18 degrees and smaller crowds after the summer peak. Winter from December to March is cold at minus 10 to 2 degrees with snow, but Toronto has an extensive underground PATH network connecting hotels, offices, and the subway. Australian school holidays in January align with Toronto's cold winter but indoor attractions including the Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Distillery District Christmas market are excellent.
