Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Toronto, as Friday’s humid conditions are expected to continue through the weekend and into next week.
According to the weather agency, a hot and humid air mass will make its way into the area on Friday and will stick around until Monday.
Daytime maximum temperatures of 31ºC are expected along with overnight low temperatures of 20ºC, providing little relief from the heat.
However, there may be some relief on Sunday, as showers or thunderstorms are possible. Thankfully by Tuesday temperatures will drop, as a slightly cooler air mass is expected to arrive.
