Sultry summer weather has arrived early and with a vengeance.
Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for much of the Kawarthas region, including Peterborough, Kawarthas Lakes, and Northumberland.
Temperatures will soar again to 29°C on Tuesday (May 26), to 32°C on Wednesday, and to 30°C on Thursday.
Humidex values will make it feel like it’s 36°C each afternoon.
Some relief is expected near the shorelines of the Great Lakes.
A cold front will deliver considerably cooler and less humid air to southern Ontario on Friday.
Environment Canada issues heat warnings when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.
Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place.
Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
