Another heat wave on the way, humid and thunderstorm chances in the Philadelphia region this Saturday

Another heat wave on the way, humid and thunderstorm chances in the Philadelphia region this Saturday

CBS News2 days ago
After a record-setting day of hot temps Friday (Philly hit 98°, breaking the record of 97), we'll get a bit of a break this weekend with temps back near normal Saturday and a bit below normal on Sunday.
Although it may not be quite as hot, it will stay on the humid side.
Saturday is likely the best day to get outdoors as temperatures will be in the upper 80s, but more cloud cover will limit direct sun and this means any t-storm activity will be minimal. Sunday, though, starts with showers and storms and then a second round is likely in the afternoon and evening.
Another heat wave returns next week with temps back into the mid to upper 90s Monday through Wednesday.
We have had 16 days in the 90s this July, and will likely add at least three more, which at 19 would tie for the 3rd most 90-degree days in July. The most we've ever racked up in July is 21, which has happened six times, most recently in 2020.
There's also a good chance that next week's heat wave could catapult July 2025 into the top 10 hottest Julys on record.
We'll keep you posted!
Saturday: Scattered showers & storms. High 89, Low 77.
Sunday: Scattered showers & storms. High 85, Low 73.
Monday: Sunny, hot. High 94, Low 75.
Tuesday: Very hot. High 97, Low 76.
Wednesday: Still hot. High 94, Low 77.
Thursday: Storms possible. High 85, Low 75.
Friday: Clearing. High 82, Low 69.

Smoke set to return as hazardous heat settles over Ontario

Summertime remains firmly in control for the closing days of July as muggy heat blankets portions of Ontario for the next several days. Heat warnings are in effect as the dangerous combination of high heat and excess humidity could lead to heat-related illnesses in short order. Forecasters are also monitoring the potential return of smoky conditions across parts of southern Ontario to start the new workweek. DON'T MISS: Dangerous heat persists for several days in spots We're in the midst of Ontario's fifth multi-day heat event of the season. Daytime high temperatures will hover between 30 and 34 degrees on Monday, with feels-like values ticking toward 40 when you factor in the excessive mugginess. The humidity will prevent nighttime temperatures from dropping below 20 degrees in many locations, preventing any meaningful heat relief after sunset. Smoke and haze may keep daytime temperatures a tad lower in some locations, depending on their concentration. Heat affects everyone. Vulnerable people are especially susceptible to heat-related illnesses, including those with chronic health conditions and folks living without air conditioning. Be sure to check on your elderly family, friends, and neighbours. A cold front pushing into Ontario will lower temperatures in a hurry as the week progresses. Central Ontario could see temperatures fall by Monday night, while the heat will persist until Wednesday across southern Ontario until the boundary slides south across the region. Warmest July since 2020 This is shaping up to be the warmest July in five years for many cities in southern Ontario. Toronto-Pearson has seen an average high temperature this month of 29.2°C, with Ottawa clocking in with an average of 27.9°C. RELATED: Mean temperatures—averaging together the day's high and low—above 24°C have become more common in recent decades for Toronto. Since 1999, the city has seen six Julys with temperatures above that threshold. Before that, the city only experienced that level of heat once in 1955. Smoke set to return to portions of Ontario Wildfires continue to burn on the Prairies and in the western United States. Various smoke models indicate that thick smoke and haze will spread across eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, by Monday morning. Folks across northwestern Ontario will experience increased smoke concentrations on Monday, and fine particulate matter is expected to cover most of the province and linger into Tuesday. If you're sensitive to smoke, plan ahead for any disruptions to outdoor activities to start the week. Header image created using graphics and imagery from Canva.

Ridge to push temperatures 10+ degrees above seasonal in B.C.

Prepare for extreme heat to build into southern British Columbia over the next couple of days as a substantial ridge of high pressure parks across the province. Temperatures are set to soar more than 10 degrees above seasonal in some communities as the heat builds through the middle of the week. Given the forecast and what's already fallen, it's safe to say that this is going to turn out to be one of the driest Julys on record for many locations across the South Coast. DON'T MISS: Temperatures soar as ridge settles over B.C. Extreme heat will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday as a hefty upper-level ridge settles over the province. Tuesday will feature temperatures in the upper 20s near the water, with 30 degrees possible just inland across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. Locations across the Interior will come in 4-6 degrees warmer, with readings surging into the lower to mid-30s. Wednesday will come in even warmer, with temperatures easily surpassing 30 degrees within just a few hundred metres of the beaches, with widespread readings in the middle to upper 30s throughout the central and southern Interior. RELATED: Heat affects everyone. Vulnerable people are especially susceptible to heat-related illnesses, including those with chronic health conditions and folks living without air conditioning. Be sure to check on your elderly family, friends, and neighbours. The hot and dry weather will also pose a risk for increased wildfire activity throughout the region. One of the driest Julys on record This is typically Vancouver's driest month of the year—but the lack of rain over the past couple of weeks is truly exceptional. Vancouver has only seen 17 mm of rain this month, compared to the 34.1 mm of rain that falls in the city during a typical July. Victoria measured only 0.2 mm of precipitation this month, making it the second-driest July on record. The city, which averages 19.5 mm of rain in a normal July, has gone completely rain-free five times during the month. Victoria's most recent rainless July occurred in 2021. Comox hasn't seen a soaking rain since 10 mm fell on May 19. This month will end as the seventh-driest July on record there, with only 2 mm of precipitation in the gauges compared to the normal total of 23.8 mm.
