Five provinces across central and eastern Canada continued to swelter in unseasonably hot conditions on Sunday, Environment Canada said as it extended a widespread heat warning into a second day.
The warning from the national weather agency covered broad swaths of southern Ontario, southern Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Humid conditions are expected to be even more prevalent in the Atlantic provinces, Vaswani said. “It would definitely be more humid in the maritime provinces because of the additional moisture provided by the ocean,” she said.
Sunday’s forecast from Environment Canada called for overnight temperatures in the low to mid-twenties, offering little relief from the daytime heat.
