Temperatures are expected to top 30 degrees C and remain above 20 degrees overnight. The public is advised to take precautions and limit their exposure.

“Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone’s health,” the statement reads. “Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness.
