Ontario continues to simmer amid dangerous record-breaking heat
Southern Ontario has been enduring a multi-day stretch of extreme heat and humidity, which began on Sunday, with temperatures climbing into the low- to mid-30s and humidex values rising toward the mid-40s. In fact, heat alerts stretch from Denver, Colo., and New Orleans, La., to Ottawa, Ont., as hazardous heat and humidity lock into place heading into the final full week of June. Heat warnings were also expanded to include parts of northern and eastern Ontario. Going into Monday, Ontario can expect to see a similar level of high temperatures and humidex numbers, with heat warnings still in effect through Tuesday. DON'T MISS: A powerful ridge of high pressure that developed over the eastern United States has settled over northern Ontario. The outer periphery of these heat ridges serve as the ideal environment for the development of thunderstorms, which then ride around the edge of the ridge like trains on railroad tracks. Northwestern Ontario's powerful Sunday night thunderstorms, which prompted several tornado warnings, will continue to trek eastward into northeastern Ontario and central Quebec on Monday. The active weather remains north along the ridge, so not much rain is in the forecast for southern Ontario as we head into Monday. We are tracking a cold front that is expected to sweep through on Tuesday. It will likely bring the risk of thunderstorms across southern Ontario before the cold front passes through Tuesday evening. Click here to view the video We've already seen temperatures and humidity increase to dangerously high levels as the ridge of high pressure intensified Sunday. At its highest, Toronto broke its record humidity for June, jumping to 46.3, 0.7 points higher than its former all-time peak on June 30th, 2018. It was the same with Hamilton, which saw the humidex jump by 2.3 points higher than its peak from June of 2018, reaching 46.6. Downtown Hamilton was also the country's hotspot on Sunday, with air temperatures reaching 35.3°C. SEE ALSO: Toronto and Hamilton weren't the only ones heating up; Burlington had a high of 34°C with a humidex of 44. Sarnia was sitting at 33.9°C, feeling like 46, and Peterborough had the biggest gap, with temperatures reaching 31.7°C but feeling like 45. This level of heat is only going to continue into Monday, with a focus on the extreme heat and humidity, while heat warnings are spread across a wide swath of Ontario. We're expecting at least three days of temperatures of 32°C or higher across most of the GTA and southwest—with daytime humidex values continuing in the mid-40s. Overnight lows will remain in the mid-20s, providing little relief for those living without reliable access to air conditioning. Monday is expected to be even hotter than Sunday, but the humidex values will remain similar. Tuesday will be the "colder" day of this multi-day heat event, although temperatures will still be sitting in the low 30s and feeling closer to the 40s. Record-breaking or not, this is an impressive heat wave that needs to be taken seriously. The extreme heat should begin to break on Wednesday, with air temperatures settling back to seasonal levels. The humidex, however, will still make the air feel like it feel like the low to mid-30s. Drink plenty of water. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can be dehydrating. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during peak hours and when the UV rating is high. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing. Use air conditioning when possible. If you do not have access to air conditioning, consider visiting a cooling centre, a shopping centre, or a public library. Check on elderly relatives and other vulnerable neighbors. Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. If you experience symptoms of heat-related illnesses like dizziness, nausea, or confusion, seek medical attention.

High heat, humidity and dangerous rip currents kick off the week in South Florida
South Florida is starting the week with warm, muggy conditions and a few morning showers drifting in on the breeze. Temperatures are expected to climb to around 90 degrees Monday afternoon under mostly sunny skies, with the heat index pushing into the mid to upper 90s due to high humidity. While much of the region will remain dry, afternoon storms are forecast to move inland and toward the Gulf Coast, steered by the easterly ocean breeze. A high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic coast makes ocean swimming dangerous on Monday. Authorities advise staying out of the water, though there are no marine alerts for boaters in Atlantic or Keys waters. Tuesday is expected to bring similar weather — scattered morning showers followed by inland storms later in the day, with highs remaining around 90 degrees. By Wednesday, rain chances begin to rise slightly with the potential for isolated showers. A more noticeable uptick in moisture arrives Thursday and into the weekend, bringing better chances for widespread showers and thunderstorms tied to a nearby disturbance. Despite the increasing rain chances later in the week, temperatures will remain seasonably hot in the low 90s, with spotty rain possible through Saturday and Sunday. South Florida is in for a hot and humid week with highs near 90, inland afternoon storms, and dangerous rip currents along the Atlantic coast. CBS News Miami
