Southern Ontario: Temperatures

Quebec Dept: Temperatures across southern Ontario and Quebec have been sitting in the low to mid 30s with humidex values in the 40s, and the extreme heat and humidity are expected to continue Thursday, according to CBC. In the past, such heat waves caused Ontario to struggle to meet the demand for electricity, which would sometimes result in brownouts or blackouts and demands for electricity are hitting seasonal highs as temperatures continue to soar across Ontario and Quebec, yet warnings to conserve energy aren't being issued as they used to be. At Montreal's Trudeau airport, the temperature hit 32.2 C, breaking the June 20 record of 32 C, which was set in 1988. Toronto, which saw temperatures of 34.4 C at Pearson airport, tied and possibly broke its daily temperature record that was originally set in 1949 and matched in 1988. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
