A hot, hazy — but clean — day in the national capital

[guest]

Haze cut the visibility Monday, but it was mostly just natural summer humidity, not pollution.

Ontario’s Environment Ministry showed good air quality across the region as the temperature reached 29.8 C after two straight days above 30. (The high was 31 on Saturday and 30.5 on Sunday.)

And while this is all hot, it’s no record. The hottest July 13 on record came in 1995, when we reached a temperature (not a humidex figure) of 34.7.

Tuesday’s outlook: almost as hot. The forecast high is 29. It will drop to a gentler 24 by Wednesday.
