The intense heat isn’t done with Toronto and the GTA yet as the first weekend of July approaches.
The region is still under an orange heat warning on Friday. A high of 31 C is in the forecast but will feel like a sweltering 41 with the humidex.
680 NewsRadio meteorologist Carl Lam says the GTA is also in for some unsettled weather.
“Some heavy downpours, thunder, lightning, also some hail, and some strong damaging wind gusts not out of the question,” he said.
Environment Canada has issued a yellow severe thunderstorm warning for Burlington and Oakville.
Lam said the orange heat warning will likely continue into Saturday but the temperature is expected to cool off on Sunday.
