... but there's a heat warning in effect in Canada's capital city for this weekend. That means the forecast high temperature with the humidex factored in is expected to climb above blood temperature for at least two days in a row.

If it happens, this will be the hottest September 23 and 24 on record in Ottawa. Records started being kept in 1939.

And the beaches are closed. (The lifeguards have gone back to school.)
