Sweltering heat wave returns to parts of Ontario, Quebec for multi-day stretch
TORONTO — Hot, humid weather is settling over much of Ontario and parts of Quebec with uncomfortably high temperatures expected to last several days. Environment Canada is warning of intense heat for all of southern Ontario and half of northeast Ontario, including Windsor, Timmins, Sudbury, Toronto and Ottawa. The heat wave extends across the provincial border with Quebec, encompassing the Montreal region. A severe weather meteorologist for Environment Canada says today kicks off a multi-day heat wave that is expected to intensify tomorrow before easing on Monday or Tuesday, depending on the region. Expected daytime highs could reach 35 C in southern areas and 33 C in the north, with the humidex at or near 40 C. Parts of Newfoundland and Labrador are also under heat warnings today, with near 30-degree temperatures expected in areas including St. John's and Gander. The weather agency warns the heat wave could pose health risks and says to watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including headache, nausea and dizziness. Environment Canada meteorologist Weiqing Zhang says this is Toronto's sixth heat warning of the year, compared to four issued last year. She says the Greater Toronto Area had already received four heat warnings by July of this year, and she expected another could be issued later in August. Evening temperatures are slightly cooler but will remain warm in the 20s, she adds. Zhang advises people to limit direct exposure to the sun and heat, if possible, with any outdoor activities scheduled during the coolest parts of the day. There are also warnings of possible severe thunderstorms in the Ontario areas of Nipigon, Thunder Bay and Black Sturgeon Lake. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 9, 2025.

Monday confirmed as opening day for Northumberland Strait fall lobster fishery
The fall lobster fishery in the Northumberland Strait will begin on Monday, Aug. 11, the P.E.I. Fishermen's Association confirmed on Saturday morning. "Wishing all LFA 25 lobster fishers a safe and prosperous season!" the association said in a post on social media, referring to Lobster Fishing Area 25. That zone covers the strait from Victoria to North Cape, P.E.I., and includes fishermen in southern P.E.I., northwestern Nova Scotia and southeastern New Brunswick. For safety reasons, relatively good weather is required for setting day, when boats are piled high with lobster traps. Department of Fisheries and Oceans representatives hosted the first of two conference calls on Friday, weighing the wind and wave forecasts for the area. The calls include people from Maritime lobster crews, harbour administrations, Environment Canada, Transport Canada and Search and Rescue. A second conference call Saturday morning confirmed the season start date. Traps will be set on Monday, with the first landings on Tuesday. The last day of the season will be Oct. 12, DFO said on its website.
