This weekend’s heat warning has been extended to continue into early this week and possibly midweek.
Hot and humid conditions are expected, with maximum temperatures of 31 degrees Celsius (feeling like 36 to 40 with the humidity).
Minimum temperatures will range near 21 degrees Celsius.
“Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can cause the Air Quality Health Index to approach the high risk category. The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors,” says Environment Canada.
