Environment Canada has issued heat warnings for the Ottawa area as temperatures are expected to be as high as 35 C in the coming days.
The heat wave is expected to last from Sunday until Tuesday, Environment Canada said in an alert issued Saturday afternoon.
In Ottawa, the daytime highs are expected to range from 31 to 35 C. Temperatures will drop to 20 to 22 C overnight, the weather agency said.
The heat warning covers a number of areas in eastern Ontario, including the nation's capital and regions along the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence River.
Infants, older adults, people who work or exercise outdoors and those with pre-existing health conditions are all at increased risk of getting sick from the heat, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) said on its website.
A heat warning has been issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada for the City of Ottawa starting on Sunday June 6 until further notice. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ottnews?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ottnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ottweather?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ottweather</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/heatwarning?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#heatwarning</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ottawa?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Ottawa</a> <br><br>Stay cool Ottawa: <a href="https://t.co/pZw9ATFnts">https://t.co/pZw9ATFnts</a> <a href="https://t.co/P9acQGjw0U">pic.twitter.com/P9acQGjw0U</a>
