While the extreme heat warning has ended, Environment Canada says humidity and UV levels will remain high, meaning sunscreen, water and shade should still be part of your daily routine.

The cooler forecast comes after Toronto endured one of its hottest stretches of the summer, with Canada Day bringing record-breaking temperatures to parts of the GTA. Toronto Pearson reached 36 C, while humidex values climbed as high as 48 C, prompting Environment Canada to issue an extreme heat warning and the City of Toronto to activate additional cooling centres, water stations and heat relief measures.
Although temperatures have eased, Toronto Public Health still recommends staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen and limiting strenuous outdoor activity during the warmest parts of the day, especially when humidex values remain elevated.
