CBC
A heat warning is in place for parts of the London and Middlesex region including Strathroy, Komoka and western Middlesex County, and is expected to last until Wednesday.
Daytime highs during the week are anticipated to jump between 31 C and 35 C. The hottest days will be Tuesday and Wednesday, the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) said in a public service announcement Sunday.
A cold front is expected to move through by Wednesday evening which will cool down the temperatures, said Shem Willie, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.
"It's not uncommon to have these heat waves, so on and off we can have some heat events during the month of September as well," he said.
MLHU is reminding the public to stay hydrated and to take steps to avoid heat-related illness. Some tips they recommend are:
