Forecasters say humidex values are likely to approach 40 this afternoon.
Showers during Saturday and Sunday may provide some relief from the heat over the weekend.
Cooler conditions are expected on Monday.
“Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place,” Environment Canada officials say.
“Seek a cool place such as a tree-shaded area, swimming pool, shower or bath, or air-conditioned spot like a public building. Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.”
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
