Environment Canada has lifted its raining warning for Toronto and the GTA.

The warning was issued earlier this week, calling for ‘significant’ amounts of rain for the region. It was lifted on Thursday.

As of 10 a.m., 62 millimetres of rain was recorded at Pearson International Airport.

The national weather agency said the rain stemmed from a cold front and a low pressure system from the U.S. Midwest.

Ahead of the heavy rain, muggy conditions were felt across the GTA on Tuesday — the last full day of summer. Fall is due to arrive at 3:21 p.m. on Wednesday.
