A 'scorcher' Thursday is expected as intense heat hovers over southwestern Ontario, according to CTV London Meteorologist Julie Atchison. In her full weather forecast for June 11, 2026, Atchison warns residents to prepare for extreme temperatures that could pose health risks. The heat wave is part of a broader pattern affecting the region, with humidity making conditions feel even hotter. Officials advise staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged sun exposure, and checking on vulnerable individuals. The forecast also includes potential thunderstorms later in the day as a cold front moves in, offering some relief but also the risk of severe weather.
