Canada-Toronto — Toronto remains under an active heat warning as a prolonged heat event continues to affect the city, according to Environment Canada, with hot conditions expected to persist through the end of the week. Environment Canada has forecast daytime highs in the range of 34 to 37 degrees Celsius, with overnight lows only easing to 21 to 25 degrees, offering residents little relief between hot spells. The federal weather agency's colour-coded alert system classifies the current warning as one likely to bring significant risk to health and safety if precautions are not taken.
In response, the City of Toronto has opened cooling centres, including a 24-hour location on Spadina Road offering air-conditioned seating, light refreshments, and recreational activities for residents seeking relief from the heat. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbours, and limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours while the warning remains in effect.
