A multi-day heat wave is set to begin today in southern Ontario as other areas of the province and Quebec also deal with warm, humid conditions.
The heat wave, which could last through to Thursday, will affect multiple regions in Quebec, with warnings in place for regions surrounding Gatineau and Montreal.
"A lot of millions are actually beginning to feel what summer is typically like," Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips told CTV News Channel on Tuesday."We've had a few days above 30, but I think what distinguishes this one is the high humidity," Phillips said. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, those with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors are at a greater risk, the department says.
"Look in on your neighbours and elderly friends who might be a little disorientated under these extreme heat and humid conditions and make sure they're coping," Phillips said.
