Environment Canada: High daytime temperatures expected

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Kingston and the area, and is advising that high daytime temperatures should be expected from now until Friday, Jul. 5, 2019.

The statement was issued for Kingston, Odessa, Frontenac Islands, Napanee, Consecon, Picton, and the Sandbanks Park areas.

“A relatively hot and humid airmass has reached the area and will remain in place through Friday. Maximum afternoon temperatures near 30 degrees and humidex values in the high thirties are forecast for most areas with slightly cooler temperatures near the shores of the Great Lakes,” Environment Canada said in the statement.

“Minimum overnight temperatures are forecast in the 17 to 20 degree range, thus providing some relief from the heat during the overnight hours.”

According to Environment Canada, a cold front Friday night will bring in cooler temperatures and lower humidity for the weekend.
