It's hot.
Really hot.
There is currently a heat warning in effect for the Little Abitibi - Kesagami Lake and the Timmins - Cochrane - Iroquois Falls area says Environment Canada.
"The heat is expected to continue today across much of Northeastern Ontario with highs into the low 30's.
'Cooler weather will arrive tonight.
'Drink plenty of liquids especially water before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration.
'Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
'Frequently visit neighbours, friends and older family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure that they are cool and hydrated.
'Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion."
Environment Canada also says Timmins trashed a hot weather record yesterday and other areas of Northeastern Ontario pretty much took a blow-torch to their high temperature records, too.
"A hot airmass has dominated the weather pattern over Northeastern Ontario the the last few days. As a result, several high temperature records for Monday, July 27, have been broken," says Environment Canada.
Kapuskasing broke it's high temperature record of 31.9 degrees, set in 1988, with a blazing 33.7 degree high yesterday.
Timmins saw the hottest day on record in 52 years when it hit 33.8 degrees, exceeding the record of 31.1 degrees, set in 1963, by 2.7 degrees.
Sault Ste. Marie tied the record set in 1988 when the temperature hit 32 degrees on Tuesday.
Sudbury broke a 51 year old record by 2.9 degrees when the temperature hit 33.5 degrees, breaking a record of 30.6 degrees set in 1964 and tied in 1990.
