Those attending Pride events and other festivals in the city this weekend should prepare for a “heat event,” according to Environment Canada.
The Federal Agency issued a heat warning for Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton, notifying of high temperatures above 30 C over the next two days.
It says maximum temperatures are expected to rise to the low 30 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, with humidity values between medium and high 30 degrees.
Sunny conditions are expected on Saturday and precipitation is expected on Sunday.
“Extreme heat affects everyone,” Environment Canada reminded the public. “The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses and people who work or train outdoors.
“Check out older family, friends and neighbors. Make sure they are cool and drinking water, ”he advises.
Environment Canada said the heat is expected to end on Sunday night when a cold front passes through the region.
Several events are taking place in Toronto this weekend, including the return of the downtown Pride Parade after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic and the TD Toronto Jazz Festival.
