Wednesday’s hot and sticky weather shaped up to create a volatile forecast as Environment Canada issued multiple tornado warnings and watches, and severe thunderstorm warnings and watches for the region.
According to Environment Canada, all tornado watches and warnings, and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings have been lifted for the region.
Environment Canada has however issued rainfall warnings for multiple counties as a line of thunderstorms makes its way across southern Ontario and dumps heavy amounts of rain.
The following regions are included in the rainfall warning:
In London-Middlesex for example, "Rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm have fallen today over some areas. Additional showers and thunderstorms have the potential to result in total rainfall amounts near 50 mm by midnight" and "Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible," according to Environment Canada.
Meanwhile, a special weather statement from Environment Canada is in effect for much of southern Ontario due to high heat and humidity.
“Exceptionally hot and humid” conditions are expected with daytime highs reaching the high 30s and humidex values in the mid-40s.
