People are being advised to plan for the weather with the Greater Toronto Area and much of southern Ontario set to see a bout of sweltering hot summer temperatures starting today.
A high of 32C is expected in Toronto Monday, but that could feel as hot as 41 with the humidex. A UV index of nine, or very high, is also expected.
"After a beautifully bright and fresh weekend, the skies above are about to sizzle," CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said. "Hot, hazy and humid air will dominate the forecast right through the work week."
Coulter said overnight lows will likely be uncomfortable as well for those without air conditioning.
Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a heat warning Sunday which remains in effect for all of southern and central Ontario and parts of northern Ontario.
"A prolonged heat event will begin today. Dangerously hot and humid conditions are expected through most of the week," the agency said.
"Daytime highs through much of the week are expected to be 30 to 35 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 40 to 45. There will be little relief through the overnight as lows are expected to be 20 to 23 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 26 to 30."
