Get ready to head indoors if thunder roars as we end the week across southern Ontario<\/p>\n

A persistently stormy pattern<\/a> draped across southern Ontario continues into Friday as storm energy rebuilds with another hot and humid day.<\/p>\n

Cleanup continues from the severe Canada Day storms<\/a> that downed trees and power lines, as well as the drenchers that covered parts of the Golden Horseshoe.<\/p>\n

Be ready to alter any outdoor plans in case threatening weather approaches your location. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you\u2019re close enough to be struck<\/a> by lightning.<\/p>\n

Extreme heat and humidity parked over the Great Lakes region will result in another round of afternoon thunderstorms fuelled by lake breezes. Humidex values will once again reach near 40 around the Greater Toronto Area, and up to 44 in the Windsor area.<\/p>\n

This will be very similar to Thursday\u2019s setup, in which more areas stayed dry than saw a storm.<\/p>\n

Slow-moving thunderstorms will be capable of wringing out the ample moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in downpours that could rack up hefty rainfall totals<\/a> in short order. Strong wind gusts are also possible in the strongest storms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on Jul. 3, 2026, 1:24 AM Updated on Jul. 3, 2026, 10:28 AM Get ready to head…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777470,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,19513,3609,16581,44,905,11696,18234,3623],"class_list":["post-777469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-hail","tag-heat","tag-heat-wave","tag-news","tag-ontario","tag-rain","tag-thunderstorm","tag-wind"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
