Summer doesn’t even officially begin until Thursday’s solstice but Environment Canada predicts that the humidex could reach a sweltering 37 Monday before a cold front brings showers and the risk of a thunderstorm along with cooler air.
In the meantime, Ottawa Public Health is warning the public, especially the very young, very old and people who are homeless or have chronic illnesses, to take care to beat the heat.
A “warm and humid” – no kidding – airmass is sitting over a swathe of Southern Ontario. The overnight low stayed over 20 C, bringing little relief from Sunday although the forecast high is a slightly-cooler 27 C.
Monday’s forecast also features a 40 per cent chance of morning showers before showers begin near noon, southwest winds at 30 km/h gusting to 50 and a UV index of 8 or very high.
Expect mainly cloudy skies overnight with a 60 per cent chance of early-evening showers before skies clear and the low drops to a throw-your-windows-open 12 C.
Tuesday’s forecast is short and sweet: sunny and 24 C with a low of 14 C.
A few clouds creep back in Wednesday with a 30 per cent chance of showers, high of 27 C and low of 10 C.
Thursday should be sunny with a high of 24 C and low of 11 C.
Friday will be gorgeous with lots of sun and a high of 29 C.
For Saturday, expect a mix of sun and cloud, a high of 26 and low of 17 C.
Sunday is expected to be cloudy with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a high of 24 C.
The public health agency warns that extreme heat can cause dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and even death.
Seniors, babies and young children, outdoor workers and athletes and people taking certain prescription medications for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and depression are amonth those at greater risk of being hit hard by heat.
