Saskatoon streets flooded after weekend storms
WATCH: Another summer storm swept through Saskatoon, leaving streets flooded and people in the dark. WATCH: Another summer storm swept through Saskatoon, leaving streets flooded and people in the dark. A sizable thunderstorm made its way through Saskatoon on Sunday night, and many residents felt the effects. 'Heavy rains like this in the summertime in particular... in cities, we do see urban flash flooding or pooling of water on the do see this happen in cities right across Canada,' said Crawford Luke, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. Luke shared that depending on the area, Saskatoon saw between 23 to 37 millimeters of rain thanks to the storm. Around 20,000 residents also experienced power outages after a bolt of lightning struck a power line, according to Saskatoon Light & Power. 'There's always a chance that our infrastructure will be impacted by severe weather,' Scott McGregor, a spokesperson for SaskPower said. McGregor went on to say that lightning striking power lines is not uncommon, especially during July — the height of summer storm season. 'Usually whenever a lightning strike happens to one of our power lines, it throws a breaker, much like you would have inside of your home. If you were to plug something in incorrectly, it would throw the breaker on your panel so that's what happened with our transmission line' McGregor said. As thunderstorm season settles into Saskatchewan, residents are reminded to be especially careful around damaged power lines, 'High winds, lightning, anything like that, there's a chance that people could come across anything like a damaged pole or down line, stay back a safe distance, we recommend 10 meters or 33 feet,' McGregor said. Anyone who comes across a damaged power line or pole is asked to call the SaskPower outage centre or 911. 'There's no way of knowing if that line is electrified still or not,' McGregor said.

(AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris) ATHENS, Greece — Authorities in Athens closed the Acropolis to visitors for several hours Tuesday due to high temperatures as work restrictions remained in effect in other parts of Greece. The closure lasted from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (1000 GMT to 1400 GMT), the Culture Ministry archeological service said. Mandatory work breaks were imposed in several other regions, mostly on islands and parts of central Greece, where temperatures exceeded 40 C (104 F). The measures started Monday for outdoor workers. Workplaces that don't comply face a 2,000 euro (US$2,350) fine per worker. Authorities said the risk of wildfires, already at 'very high' across the eastern mainland, is expected to increase during the week. Elsewhere in Europe, a wildfire in northeastern Spain burned roughly 3,000 hectares (7,400 acres) on Tuesday with authorities ordering some 18,000 people in Tarragona province to remain indoors. Other parts of Spain were on high alert for wildfires after experiencing record high temperatures in June. The Associated Press

Sinkhole shuts down part of Steeles Avenue after water main break in Brampton
A sinkhole has shut down part of Steeles Avenue in Brampton, Ont., following a water main break Monday afternoon, police say. Around 1:20 p.m., Monday, Peel police began receiving calls of water pooling on Steeles Avenue, causing a large sinkhole, police said in a post on X. All eastbound lanes on the street between Airport Road and Goreway Drive are expected to be closed for at least 24 hours, police said. The municipality has established a temporary water supply for residents to keep water flowing amid the extreme heat, Elaine Gilliland, director of water and wastewater operations for Peel Region, said in an email Tuesday. "We are currently waiting on a welder to assess whether the pipe can be repaired, and if not, we'll replace with a new section of pipe," she said. "If all goes as expected, we are hoping the fix is done by the end of the day."
