Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for London and all of southwestern Ontario ahead of scorching, humid temperatures expected over the long weekend.
The national weather agency says for Sunday and Monday, Londoners will see daytime highs in the low to mid-30s, feeling like the mid-40s with the humidity.
They add overnight temperatures will only fall to near 20 degrees, providing little relief from the heat.
