Temperatures expected to drop after weekend heat wave in southeastern Canada

Relief is in sight for sweltering Canadians after a weekend of high humidity and thunderstorms that affected sporting events, caused localized flooding, and sent people flocking to local pools to beat the heat as temperatures soared into the mid-30s.

Gilles Desgagnes, a spokesman for Quebec civil security, said there were reports that a brief but intense rainstorm in parts of Montreal on Sunday morning caused headaches for a few motorists, who found themselves trapped by the water that rapidly accumulated under some underpasses and on a stretch of Highway 40.

But while the heat may have felt stifling, a spokeswoman for the local health department said that as of Sunday afternoon there had been no increase in hospitalizations in Montreal, and that no deaths had been directly linked to the heat.In comparison, the city’s public health authority reported that 66 people, most of them seniors or chronically ill, died as a result of extreme heat on the Island of Montreal between June 30 and July 8 last year.

But Sunday provided some relief, with the forecast sitting at 29 C, or 34 C with the humidex, with a chance of rain.“When we sweat, and the sweat evaporates, this is how we cool off,” she said. When it’s humid, “the sweat doesn’t evaporate, it stays on the skin.”In much of Alberta, where the summer of 2019 has so far been mostly a mixture of rain and below-normal temperatures, conditions returned closer to seasonal on the weekend.

Lol...in Medicine Hat they just issue a “heat warning” and it’s only 28 degrees, 30 years ago we were getting temperatures over 40 degrees with NO heat warnings...Liberal Climate Change narrative...

So no climate emergency?

Thank you carbon tax

CTV National News: 'The hottest day of the year'Weather warnings stretched across Eastern Canada as temperatures hit record highs. Mike Arsalides has more on the heat and humidity. These temperatures are common in summer and humidity as well in these regions, the only difference is the media is issuing heat warnings now to support the global warming narrative. In the 1930’s one heat wave killed 950 alone. It’s called summer... This is wonderful weather ! Summer temperatures in summer, a media who is dependent on government for taxpayer $$$$ and an election looming. This means summer temperatures are headline news, because 'climate Armageddon' is a Liberal campaign theme.
