Damn its Hot!

What a difference a day makes!You're sweating through the warmest June 6th in history - and there's a lot more where that came from. Toronto officially broke the all-time record for the date just after 2pm Friday when the thermometer climbed to a stifling 33C at Pearson International Airport. That easily shatters the old mark of 31.6C set in 1999. And it's just the start of what those who enter the blast furnace of the great outdoors are facing over the next four days. A humidex advisory remains in effect from Windsor to Barrie with values soaring to a sweltering 40 in some places, making breathing an almost impossible task for those who have to be outside for any lengthy periods.

We've been though this kind of heat before, of course, but this one may be harder on you than most. That's because the majority of those other summer-like scorchers came after a gradual build up that let your body get used to the hotter conditions. But we've just emerged from a wetter and cooler than normal spring, and none of us have had a chance to get acclimatized to mid-July temperatures in early June. The result - it feels even hotter than it really is.
Although it really is hot.
