Current Heat Conditions
The heat warning, issued by Environment Canada, remains in effect for London and surrounding areas. Temperatures have soared to near 30 degrees Celsius, with humidex values making it feel even hotter. The warning is expected to persist until a cold front moves through the region midweek.

Midweek Cooldown
