CBC's Dale Manucdoc speaks to Torontonians living in buildings without air conditioning and those who have no choice but to work outside. Friday will see a slight dip in temperature but still fall in the low 30s range. People hoping for a break from the intense heat and humidity might have to wait, as the federal environment agency predicts higher than average temperatures in the coming weeks. "We do expect above seasonal temperatures to continue through the latter half of the summer," Flisfeder said. People are advised to periodically cool down by seeking air-conditioned environments or get away from the sun to regulate body temperature, Flisfeder said. There is some respite over the weekend, with temperatures expected to drop down to the mid 20s on Sunday. The temperature should be back up to near 30 C on Monday, Flisfeder said. He said people should ensure they stay hydrated, especially if participating in outdoor events or strenuous activities. "Make sure you are replenishing all your bodily fluids by drinking lots of water and finding a cool place to rest," Flisfeder said.

According to leaker Detective Seeds on X (formerly Twitter), Rockstar Games is actively working with Sony to improve GTA 6 for the GTA 6 PS5 Pro which could allow 60 frames-per-second gaming on the new console. It will be the first time that a GTA title gives console gamers an experience that is comparable to high-end gaming PCs when it launches. GTA 6 gameplay PS5 Pro could offer multiple options for GTA 6 next-gen graphics, similar to what Xbox used to do when it launched Forza Horizon 5. Why not the PS5 or Xbox Series X? Surprisingly, the basic PS5 as well as Xbox Series X may not provide 60 frames per second at the time of the time of launch. Although no official confirmation has been provided by Rockstar or Sony however, this change suggests that Sony intends to give players the reason for them to increase the GTA 6 performance, expected to launch prior to the release date of GTA 6. GTA Six Themed PS5 Pro console incoming? There's also speculation of an exclusive GTA 6 frame rate, given the close relationship with Sony with the Rockstar Games GTA 6 update.
