It is 6 am and still another thunderstorm is blazing its way across the sky. Sun, rain, hail, repeat - that's been the weather pattern across Toronto this spring.

The city and surrounding areas have been pummeled by brutal thunderstorms -- most recently with reports of funnel clouds in the city's east-end, just a little north of where we live.

Environment Canada already confirmed six tornadoes so far during the severe summer weather season and said that on average the region receives 11. We're expected to easily beat that average and maybe set a record.

680News' meteorologist, Jill Taylor, is talking on the radio in the next room telling me to be prepared for this. "We have to be aware of the fact that some severe thunderstorms can give as tornadoes."

Taylor reports, in that breathlessly delighted radio sing-song voice of hers, that Monday was the 11th day, out of the past 12 days, that rain fell in the GTA. She tells me the region is well above the average for rainfall in June.

Tell me something I don't know Jill.

A torrential rain caused Toronto's main river, the Don, to overflow, forcing the Bayview extension to be closed on Monday, along with part of Sheppard Avenue West.

Hail as thick as snow near Jane Street and Finch Avenue, as well as about 650 lightning strikes came with the storm.

Outside the thunder and lightning have passed on, but the rain is still falling. And rain is in the forecast for the next 5 days at least.

So how's the weather where you are?
