Here’s How Canadian Cities Can Prepare for Hotter Summers, According to Urban Planners
SOUTHERN ONTARIO, JUL 4 – Temperatures may reach 40°C humidex as southern Ontario faces a heat wave with consecutive days above 31°C, prompting health officials to open cooling centers.
- Environment Canada issued a heat warning for Toronto, Hamilton, and much of southern Ontario from Saturday, July 5, to Sunday night, July 6.
- The warning comes after a recent heat wave and forecasts daytime highs between 31°C and 33°C, with humidity causing temperatures to feel as high as 40°C over the weekend.
- In response, Toronto opened a 24/7 cooling space at the Metro Hall Rotunda and extended hours at five air-conditioned civic buildings and eight outdoor pools.
- Hamilton’s Medical Officer Elizabeth Richardson advised staying well-hydrated while steering clear of alcohol and caffeine, pointing out that nighttime temperatures remaining between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius offer minimal relief from the heat.
- The heat wave is projected to ease by Sunday night, as local initiatives focus on safeguarding at-risk populations from heat-related health issues during this time.
