Hot and humid conditions are expected on Sunday and Monday.
Maximum daytime temperatures on Sunday will be 32 to 34°C with humidex values near 40°C. Minimum temperatures Sunday night will be 22 to 25°C, providing little relief from the heat.
High temperatures on Monday are forecast to be 30 to 32°C. Humidex values near 40°C are also expected on Monday.

Extreme heat affects everyone, but the risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, and people working or exercising outdoors.
Check on older family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are cool and drinking water
Reduce your heat risk. Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day.
Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
Outdoor workers should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool place.
