Heat warning for southern Ontario expected to end Sunday night: Environment Canada
It's another scorcher across southern Ontario on Sunday with temperatures expected to climb to the mid 30s and the humidex making it feel like 40 C. Environment Canada issued a heat warning Friday afternoon for areas between Windsor and Peterborough, saying daytime highs between 31 and 33 C were expected on Saturday and Sunday. The weather agency says the weather is expected to break Sunday night. A news release from the City of Toronto says 56 of 58 outdoor pools are open this weekend and the city is also operating more than 100 added shelter spaces for people experiencing homelessness. It's not the first heat warning for Ontario this summer — extreme heat reaching the mid-30s broke temperature records in many parts of the province on June 22 and 23.

‘Summer of heat': Toronto braces for another day of extreme temperatures
People eat lunch on a hot day in Toronto on Thursday, June 23, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette Toronto is once again sweltering under extreme summer heat, with Environment Canada issuing a heat warning for the second time in as many weeks. Humidex values could reach 40 on Sunday, with daytime highs of 31 to 33 C and overnight lows between 21 and 25 C. The weather agency warns that the heat, combined with deteriorating air quality, could pose a serious health risk. 'Extreme heat can affect everyone's health,' the advisory reads. 'Watch for early signs of heat exhaustion… heat stroke is a medical emergency.' How is the city responding? To help residents stay cool, the City of Toronto has activated Metro Hall as a 24/7 cooling centre starting at noon. In addition, five other civic buildings will remain open with extended hours, while eight outdoor pools will operate until 11:45 p.m. throughout the weekend. Mayor Olivia Chow said the city has added 100 shelter beds and is distributing bottled water at major public locations including Sankofa Square and Nathan Phillips Square.

'Since the last heat wave, what we did was we now opened up all the civic centres, community centres, libraries … all air conditioned,' Chow told CP24. 'All the pools are open … and there are some that are open till midnight.' 'Get used to it', experts say Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist David Phillips noted that while this weekend's event is shorter than the four-day stretch in late June, it's still part of a broader trend only bound to ramp up. 'We've had several bouts of it but none really as unhealthy as that bout on the third week of June,' he said. 'If you're not used to it, get used to it because it's going to be the summer of heat.' The city has also increased staffing by 30 per cent this weekend to ensure all 54 outdoor pools remain open. Environment Canada is urging residents to check in on vulnerable individuals, avoid direct sun exposure, and to never leave children or pets in parked vehicles
