Environment Canada issued alerts for most of the province because of a ‘multi-day heat event,’ with temperatures expected to surpass 30 C, with humidex values upward of 40
Heat warnings are in effect across most of Ontario, where temperatures were expected to climb to dangerous levels in a week where the world marked its hottest day ever recorded.
The weather warnings in Ontario were issued after the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction registered the average global temperature reaching 17.01 C on Monday, surpassing the previous record set in August, 2016. Scientists said climate change, combined with an emerging El Nino pattern, were to blame.
The City of Toronto extended hours at seven outdoor pools by three and four hours to keep them open until 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday. In Mississauga, spray pad hours were extended until 11 p.m. There were also heat warnings in parts of Quebec and the Northwest Territories, while parts of the Southern United States have been dealing with severe heat for days.
