It’s going to get hot in Windsor and Essex County.
Environment Canada on Friday issued a heat warning that takes effect Saturday and stretches through the weekend.
A warm front is expected to bring a southwesterly flow of hot and humid air into the area starting Saturday afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to rise to the mid-30s C on Sunday and Monday, with humidex values near 40 C.
The warning identifies those most at risk of heat-related illness as young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.
The warning advises everyone to drink plenty of water even before feeling thirsty and to stay in a cool place.
Environment Canada reminds members of the public not to leave people or pets inside parked vehicles.
