The extreme heat being felt in the Greater Toronto Area could give way to cooler temperatures and torrential rainfall by mid-week due to the remnants of Hurricane Beryl.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of southern Ontario, warning of “torrential downpours” that could begin Tuesday or Wednesday night and continue into Thursday.
Phillips told CP24 that it is possible the storm could result in 50 millimetres of rainfall accumulation in some Ontario communities, which “would be more than a months worth of rain in one day.”“The remnants of it will sorta interrupt the heat at the beginning of the week but towards the end of the week as we get into the weekend we will see temps get up to the high 20s with high humidity and we will back in that sort of summer kinda weather,” he said.
Environment Canada said there will be little relief overnight as lows are only expected to be 20 C or higher. “Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration,” Environment Canada urged.For those in need of relief from the heat, the City of Toronto points residents to the more than 300 designated ‘cool spaces’ as part of its Heat Strategy Network, implemented in 2019.
