Six Niagara area beaches posted for unsafe swimming
Environment Canada is continuing its latest heat warning for the Niagara Region.
Hot and humid conditions will stick with us today through Saturday.
Daytime high temperatures will reach the low thirties today and Saturday.
Humidex values will be in the mid to upper thirties today and will approach 40 on Saturday.
There's a chance the heat wave could stretch into Sunday.
Overnight low temperatures in the low twenties will provide little relief from the heat.
The conditions are favourable for deteriorating air quality, which can lead to heat illness.
The public is reminded to never leave people or pets in cars, check on older family, friends and neighbours and stay hydrated.
If you plan to seek some relief at the beach this weekend, as of yesterday Public Health had posted six Niagara beaches as unsafe for swimming.
