This may come as no surprise, but the hot and humid conditions will continue today and into early next week, said The Weather Network.
Mostly sunny skies today will allow humidex values to reach into the upper 30s both this afternoon.
These unseasonably warm temperatures and high humidex values will likely persist into Monday and then lower temperatures are expected Tuesday.
According to Environment Canada, the mercury topped out at 28.4 C on Sept. 22, well above the average temperatures for that day for the past four years.

“Extreme heat affects everyone,” said The Weather Network in a news release. “The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.”
