Canada Day Heat Warning | Ottawa News
Description
Canada Day in Ottawa is heating up — with temperatures soaring to a stifling 34°C and humidity making it feel like 46°C. Environment Canada has issued an orange heat warning from July 1 through the weekend, peaking Wednesday and Thursday, with overnight lows barely dipping into the low 20s. UV levels will be extreme at 9, and there’s a 40% chance of thunderstorms Wednesday evening. Heritage Canada urges everyone to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, seek shade, and take breaks — free water and shaded zones will be available at events. The city is opening cooling centers at City Hall (8 AM–8 PM) and Ben Franklin Place (8 AM–9 PM), and most recreation centers and outdoor pools will be open — check the city’s website for details. Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: headaches, nausea, dizziness — stop and hydrate immediately if you feel unwell.
