Heat Wave Rolls Through Oakville Ontario

Southern Ontario just finished getting over the relatively mild Earthquake when the heat got turned up. From a record breaking rainfall record in June 2010 to a record breaking heat wave, Southern Ontario welcomed the Queen of England to scorching heat and a power outage caused by a transformer fire.

Nevertheless the Queen enjoyed her stay prior to continuing her travels to the States.

In many parts of Oakville, the heat exceeded 43C with the Humidex factored in.

Air conditioners were struggling to keep homes cool. Relief is in sight by the weekend with somewhat more normal temperatures for July.
