7 Tweets About Toronto’s Heatwave That Perfectly Describe Your Sweaty Misery

Everyone’s trying to beat the heat — even dogs.
Contributing Writer

If you live in Toronto, you're already aware of the sweltering heat that has taken over the 6ix. With July on track to having one of the longest hot streaks on record, residents are still trying to find ways to cool down. These will make you feel better about sweating so much. 

As temperatures continue to float above 30 C, there is no end in sight to the humidity that the city has been dealing with. 

In fact, The Weather Network had announced that Thursday marked the eighth day in a row where Torontonians haven't had a break from the heat. 

While thunderstorms are expected to hit the city this weekend, it doesn't mean that temperatures will plummet. 

The humidity will rise again by the middle of next week and will be sticking around for a while. 

So if you haven't bought an AC unit yet, you might want to start looking at Kijiji. 

Luckily, Torontonians aren't without a sense of humour, and you can always count on Twitter to be filled with gems about miserable situations such as these.
