Temagami has scored the first local heat warning of the season.
Daytime temperatures reaching 33 degrees combined with overnight lows near 18 degrees are expected for the next three, possibly four days.
The "heat event" begins tomorrow. (Tuesday)
Though not yet officially under a heat warning, the North Bay area will see similar temperatures.
Sunny skies will be accompanied with daytime temperatures hovering around 30 degrees for the next week.
Tomorrow will see sunny skies with a high of 30. The UV index will be 8, or very high. The record for that day was set in 2006 at 31.
Just last week BayToday was posting frost warnings from Environment Canada.
Extreme heat affects everyone. The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.
Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place.
Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
