Episode Details

Eastern Ontario and western Quebec are in the grip of a brutal heat wave, with temperatures soaring into the mid-30s Celsius and humidity making it feel like the low 40s. Ottawa could hit its hottest day of the year, while towns like Brockville and Kingston may set local records. Some businesses, including a Dunrobin café, are shutting down to protect staff from dangerous kitchen conditions. Environment Canada issued heat warnings, and cities are opening cooling centers as heat exhaustion symptoms—like dizziness, thirst, and fatigue—become more common. Heat stroke is a medical emergency requiring 911. The extreme heat is also raising wildfire risks, especially in Pontiac and Algonquin Park, where burn bans are in place. Western Quebec faces a severe thunderstorm watch Tuesday, with possible tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain. Weather alerts remain at the yellow level, urging caution as the heat eases by Wednesday.
