An incoming heat dome is set to bring sweltering temperatures and high humidity to parts of Canada<\/p>\n

This weekend, parts of southern Canada will experience some of the warmest conditions of the year as a U.S. heat dome strengthens and spreads north<\/a>.<\/p>\n

High temperatures, combined with elevated humidity, will push humidex values to dangerous levels, exceeding 40 in many areas.<\/p>\n

In the southern Prairies, the heat begins Saturday, with southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba expecting the highest temperatures on Sunday. Daytime highs could reach the mid to high 30s in provinces like southern Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan, while southern Alberta will see highs in the low 30s.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg could reach 36\u00b0C with a humidex of 46 on Sunday, climbing to 37\u00b0C (humidex 45) Monday\u2014potentially marking the city\u2019s hottest day since August 2018.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in these regions are forecast to be more than 10\u00b0C above seasonal norms, which typically hover in the mid-20\u00b0C range.<\/p>\n

The heat will expand eastward into Ontario and parts of Quebec early next week. By Tuesday, areas like Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and their surroundings could experience humidex values around 40.<\/p>\n

Northern and eastern Ontario, including Thunder Bay and Timmins, will also reach the 30s, with high humidity making conditions feel even warmer.<\/p>\n

DON’T MISS: How a U.S. heat dome could bring severe summer storms to Canada<\/a><\/p>\n

A slight break from the heat is expected by midweek. However, elevated heat-related illnesses<\/a> remain a risk during this period. Additionally, thunderstorms may develop along the periphery of the heat dome in a “ring-of-fire” pattern<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hot weather safety tips:<\/p>\n

Drink plenty of water. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can be dehydrating.<\/p>\n

Avoid direct sunlight, especially during peak hours and when the UV rating is high.<\/p>\n

Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.<\/p>\n

Use air conditioning when possible. If you do not have access to air conditioning, consider visiting a cooling centre, a shopping centre, or a public library.<\/p>\n

Check on elderly relatives and other vulnerable neighbors.<\/p>\n

Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day.<\/p>\n

If you experience symptoms of heat-related illnesses like dizziness, nausea, or confusion, seek medical attention.<\/p>\n
