A very warm and humid airmass has settled over the region and will likely persist at least through Wednesday.

Some relief to the warmer temperatures is possible by Thursday as cloud and some rain are expected to move into the region, but humidity will still remain very high.
The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.
Check on older family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are cool and drinking water
