SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO - A heat warning has been issued for Southwestern Ontario, which includes Oxford County.
A hot and increasingly humid air mas is going to move in on Saturday and is expected to last until at least Sunday. Slightly cooler and less humid conditions may arrive on Monday.
Daytime high temperatures are expected to be between 31 and 34 degrees with the humidity making it feel like 40.
Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high risk category.

Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle. When it's hot eat cool, light meals.
