Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips told CTV Morning Live last week that the rain has helped create the humid conditions in the capital, particularly last week when the humidex made it feel like 40.
"You've had a lot of rain in the Ottawa Valley, about 50 per cent more than normal in April, May and June," Phillips said on June 28. "Combine that with the Gulf of Mexico air, it's like a steam bath out there."
Ottawa saw four straight days with temperatures above 30 C last week, including highs of 32.5 C on June 18 and 33.7 C on June 19.
