Environment Canada has issued the following Special Weather Statement for our region beginning this weekend: "HOT WEATHER ARRIVES FOR THE FIRST OFFICIAL SUMMER WEEKEND. TODAY MARKS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, AND IT SEEMS MOTHER NATURE HAS DECIDED THE WEATHER SHOULD MATCH THE CALENDAR. BUILDING HEAT TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE GREAT LAKES IS SLATED TO MOVE INTO PARTS OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO ON SATURDAY AND INTENSIFY ON SUNDAY EXTENDING WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. A WARM FRONT THAT WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO HOT SUMMER WEATHER WILL SLOWLY CROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO SATURDAY AND EASTERN ONTARIO SUNDAY MORNING. THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL FIRST BUILD INTO SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO ON SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES TOPPING OFF IN THE LOW THIRTIES WITH HUMIDEX VALUES AROUND 40. A HUMIDEX ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED THIS AFTERNOON FOR SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO. THE SWELTERING HEAT WILL INTENSIFY ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ONTARIO ON SUNDAY WITH SULTRY CONDITIONS LIKELY CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY. HUMIDEX READINGS IN THE LOW FORTIES AND VERY WARM OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL MAKE IT QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR MANY PEOPLE. HOWEVER, SHORELINE AREAS AROUND THE GREAT LAKES WILL PROVIDE SOME RELIEF. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY PROVIDE SOME RELIEF AROUND MID WEEK."
