Sunny skies and a high of 23 C are forecasted for Tuesday. Clear skies and a low of 14 C are forecasted for the night.
The average temperatures for this time of year are a high of 26.3 C and a low of 15.3 C.
"Extreme heat can affect everyone’s health. The health risks are greater for older adults, infants and young children, pregnant people, people with physical and/or mental illnesses, and people with disabilities or mobility issues," says Environment Canada on its website. "Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle."
