The heat wave in Winnipeg is showing no signs of letting up, as hot temperatures are expected to stick around on Tuesday. According to CTV News meteorologist Colleen Bready, the city will continue to experience above-average temperatures for this time of year.
Bready predicts that Tuesday will see a high of 31 degrees Celsius, with a humidex of 36. The overnight low is expected to be 19 degrees Celsius, providing little relief from the heat.
The hot and humid conditions are due to a high-pressure system that is currently sitting over the region. This system is bringing in warm air from the south, resulting in the unseasonably warm temperatures.
While the heat may be uncomfortable for some, it is important to take precautions to stay safe. Bready advises staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
For those who do need to be outside, it is recommended to wear loose, light-colored clothing and to seek shade whenever possible. It is also important to check on vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly or those with health conditions, to ensure they are staying cool and hydrated.
The hot temperatures are expected to continue throughout the week, with a chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. Bready reminds residents to stay informed and to take necessary precautions to stay safe during this heat wave.
As always, CTV News will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as needed. Stay tuned for the latest forecast and stay cool, Winnipeg.
