Torrential rains flooded Canada's financial capital on July 16, Toronto, leading to some flights being delayed or cancelled. Trains were bypassing the city's main rail terminal, Union Station, said the Toronto Transit Commission.

The underwater pedestrian tunnel leading to the passenger terminal in Billy Bishop Airport, situated on an island off downtown Toronto, was flooded and temporarily closed. The local power distribution company said it was responding to scattered power outages.

Traffic disruptions were seen in Toronto, and many restaurants were shut, with workers waiting outside for power to resume.
