Toronto's climate and winters is dramatically changing, the universal AC solution is almost mandatory due to the climate not being as cold in this area as it once was.

do you have a source for that? my source[1] appears the average temp hasn't changed much in the past quarter century: https://toronto.weatherstats.ca/metrics/temperature.html https://toronto.weatherstats.ca/metrics/temperature.html

  Average temp probably isn’t what you need here - peak temperature and length of high temperature conditions would be more important when figuring out if you need to have artificial cooling available.

  From the site you cited: * Feb 1 2014 MAX 5.5 °C HR MEAN -7.8 °C MEAN M/M -8.3 °C MIN -21.3 °C * Feb 1 2024 MAX 15.7 °C HR MEAN 1.3 °C MEAN M/M 1.3 °C MIN -8.2 °C * Jan 1 2014 MAX 7.5 °C HR MEAN -8.3 °C MEAN M/M -8.6 °C MIN -24.2 °C * Jan 1 2024 MAX 6.5 °C HR MEAN -2.3 °C MEAN M/M -2.1 °C MIN -15.5 °C * Dec 1 2013 MAX 15.6 °C HR MEAN -4.0 °C MEAN M/M -4.2 °C MIN -17.8 °C * Dec 1 2023 MAX 13.1 °C HR MEAN 2.7 °C MEAN M/M 2.7 °C MIN -4.9 °C Looking at the MEANs shows the real story - as well as seeing that the Mins are getting nowhere close to what they used to. Also I live here, snow volumes have been low enough that I no longer need a snowblower. I used to build a backyard rink and haven't been able to properly last couple of years because the weather is too mild and I can't enough solid time that it'll be frozen. Public outdoor rinks (that aren't artificially chilled) suffer the same fate and are rarely if ever available. Even in Ottawa where at this time a decade ago people would have been skating on the Canal for weeks by now - it's still not frozen over and open for the public.
