It's Giving Heatwave and Thunderstorms, Bruh! 🥵⛈️

The Heatwave Lowdown 🔥

Aight, listen up! Environment Canada just dropped some tea: we're in for a wild three days. Starting Sunday, the capital region's gonna be straight-up COOKING. We're talking daytime highs hitting 31C to 36C, but with the humidex? It's gonna feel like a whole 40-50 degrees. Like, are you kidding me?! 💀

And the overnight lows? Still gonna be a sweaty 21C to 25C. This heatwave's supposed to chill out by Tuesday night, but there's a chance it could overstay its welcome 'til Wednesday, especially in southwestern Ontario and the GTA. No cap, stay hydrated, people!

Real talk, this ain't just uncomfortable, it's sus. Gotta look out for your squad, especially older peeps, those living solo, and anyone else who's at risk. Check on them, like, a bunch of times a day. If you're starting to feel like trash—headache, nausea, dizzy, thirsty, dark pee, tired AF—that's heat exhaustion. Stop doing what you're doing and chug some water ASAP.

And if someone's acting totally out of pocket and showing signs of heat stroke? Call 9-1-1 or your emergency health provider, like, yesterday. While you're waiting, try to cool them down by getting them to a cooler spot and throwing some cold water or ice packs on them. Fr fr, this is not the vibe.

Thunderstorm Alert in the UK ⛈️

Meanwhile, across the pond in the UK, the Met Office is like, "Yo, hold up, we got a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms." This is hitting the north of England, Wales, and the Midlands, but they had to expand the area 'cause the storm's extra. The warning's in effect from 5 pm Saturday to 3 am Sunday, so watch out for lightning, hail, strong winds, and heavy rain. Some places could get 30-40 mm of rain in, like, two hours. That's kinda wild. These storms are supposed to move northeast overnight, then dip into the North Sea. Stay safe, my UK besties!

How to Stay Cool (No Cap) 😎

Here's the tea on surviving this heatwave: keep sipping water, close your blinds, open windows when it's cooler outside, and if you got AC or a fan, USE IT. Find a cooler place to chill if you can. And for the love of all that is holy, limit your time in the sun, wear light-colored clothes, and NEVER leave people or pets in a parked car. That's just messed up.
