You thought Saturday was hot? You haven’t felt anything yet, according to Environment Canada.
The sweltering heat reached a high of 33.6 C at 4 p.m. on the final day of June, with a humidex reading of 43.
Canada Day crowds in the capital will face the challenge of keeping hydrated in temperatures that are forecast to peak at 36 C, with a humidex of 47 and a UV index of 10, or “very high.” The highest July 1 temperature recorded in Ottawa between 1939 and 2011 was 36.9 C in 1963.
“This will be the most significant heat event in the past few years,” Environment Canada said in the heat warning for the national capital area posted on its website. “Extreme heat affects everyone. The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.”
There are many warning signs for heat illness, including swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
Canada Day was supposed to start out sunny in the morning, turning to a mix of sun and cloud in the afternoon, with a 30 per cent chance of showers. The forecast called for a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon or early evening, with night-time temperatures cooling to a more manageable 23 C.
The Ottawa area had remained under a severe thunderstorm watch Saturday night, with a release stating the threat would continue through the night.
The hot weather that hit the capital on Saturday, June 30, 2018, meant people hit Mooney’s Bay beach to cool down in the Rideau River.
The hot weather that hit the capital Saturday was perfect for one-and-a-half-year-old Calin Janzen as he played in the water at Mooney’s Bay beach.
