There will be no foreseeable respite from the daytime heat as a prolonged period of hot weather will continue into this week, said an Environment Canada warning for Durham.
“Daytime high temperatures in excess of 30 degrees Celsius, with humidex values in the high thirties to low forties, are expected for this week. Overnight lows near 20 degrees Celsius are also expected through this period, providing little relief from the heat,” it said.
A slightly cooler air mass may move into the area this weekend, however there is considerable uncertainty, it added.
