As with any heat warning, it is recommended that people watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion and check in with vulnerable family and friends to ensure their well-being.
For residents in Southern Ontario and southern Quebec, the heat wave is expected to start cooling off later today or this evening, while farther east the warmer weather will likely linger into Friday.
There was also one heat warning posted for the Northwest Territories — in the Hay River region — with highs forecast to reach 28 to 31.
