With the humidity factored in it will feel closer to 40.

The GTA remains under a smog advisory and the city’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David McKeown has issued a heat alert.

During a heat alert, the public is encouraged to call or visit family, friends, and neighbours, especially isolated adults and seniors, who are at risk of suffering from heat-related illness, to make sure they are fine.

There are some good ways to help beat the heat.

*Drink lots of water and natural food juices.
*Go to air conditioned places, including shopping malls or local libraries or community centres.
*Stay out of the sun
*Reduce strenuous physical exercise especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Toronto should get a break from the high humidity by Wednesday when a cold front approaches Southern Ontario.

The humidity by the way stays with us tomorrow but we’ll get some relief on Wednesday when a cold front comes our way.
