Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) have issued a (Yellow) Heat Warning beginning Tuesday, September 1, 2026, and extending through to Wednesday, September 2, and possibly lasting into Thursday, September 3, 2026. A Yellow weather alert indicates that conditions are expected to pose an increased risk to health and daily activities, particularly for those who are more vulnerable to extreme heat. Heat is expected to build throughout the week, with daytime high temperatures ranging from 30Β°C to 32Β°C and overnight lows of 20Β°C to 23Β°C. Because temperatures are not expected to cool significantly overnight, the risk of heat-related illness will increase.

The Middlesex-London Health Unit reminds everyone to protect themselves during extreme heat.

πŸ’§ Drink water often (skip alcohol & caffeine)
πŸš— Never leave kids or pets in parked cars
🌳 Limit time outdoors; seek shade or go out early/late
πŸ‘’ Wear light clothing & a wide-brimmed hat
🏠 Keep blinds closed, avoid extra heat indoors
🚿 Cool off with showers, baths, or damp towels
πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Avoid strenuous activity
