Soaring summer temperatures continued to heat up much of southern Ontario, as Toronto’s medical officer of health upgraded the city’s weather warning to an "extreme heat alert."

Dr. David McKeown issued the alert on Tuesday, urging citizens to drink plenty of water and check on loved ones, especially isolated adults and seniors, to make sure they are safe.

Environment Canada predicts the mercury will remain in the 30 C range until Saturday, when the temperature is expected to drop to 25 C with a 30 per cent chance of showers
