London is sweltering under hot and humid conditions as residents brace for a storm expected to arrive later this week. CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison has issued the full weather forecast, warning of the impending change.
Current conditions and forecast
Temperatures have risen significantly, with humidity making it feel even hotter. Atchison advises residents to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. The storm system is expected to bring much-needed relief but also potential hazards such as strong winds and heavy rainfall.
According to Atchison, the storm could arrive by midweek, bringing a sharp drop in temperatures. “We’re looking at a significant shift,” she said. “The humidity will break, but we need to be prepared for the storm’s impacts.”
Precautions and safety tips
Local authorities recommend securing outdoor furniture and avoiding travel during the worst of the storm. The hot weather has also increased the risk of heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable populations.
Residents are encouraged to check on elderly neighbors and ensure pets have access to shade and water. The storm is expected to clear by the weekend, leaving cooler and more comfortable conditions.
