The city’s first heat warning of 2017 rolled in on Sunday with temperatures expected to steadily climb and hit 31 degrees C around 5 p.m.
According to Environment Canada there is a possibility of showers on both days, with thunderstorms a possibility on Sunday.
Evenings will bring some relief, but temperatures are expected to remain in the 20s overnight.
For Ottawa residents looking for relief from the heat, the city’s splash pads have been open since last month, but the city’s beaches aren’t scheduled to open until June 17 which means there are no life guards posted and water quality testing is not being done yet to determine bacterial levels in the water.
The Calypso water park is open just East of the city and most community centres and area shopping malls have the air conditioning going at full blast to help people cope with the heat wave.
High gusting winds across the nation’s capital are also helping to keep the temperatures in check. Environment Canada said the winds are blowing in a south west direction at around 53 kph.
Still, Environment Canada is warning seniors and small children to be particularly aware of the rising temperatures.
The weather agency advises residents to find a cool, air-conditioned space to cool off.
Maximum temperatures are expected to fall to 27 and 24 by Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
Ottawa Public Health issued a release on Saturday night advising residents to take precautions on Sunday and Monday. It stated:
Extreme heat can cause dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and even death. Seniors, infants, young children, outdoor workers and athletes, people who are homeless and people taking certain prescription medications for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and depression are at a greater risk of suffering from heat-related illness.
