That suffocating heat is expected to last through the whole weekend and right into Monday, if not beyond. Even temperatures overnight will sit at the low to mid-20s.

The Weather Network warns it will feel around 42 C on Sunday in the city. EC notes again that the air quality will also take a big hit due to the humidity and could even reach the high-risk category. It also advises eating cool, light meals.
