Record heat for Ontario and Quebec

Mistake Lake 288

Ontario and Quebec`s temperatures reached new heights during Thursday's heat wave. Eleven Ontario cities and twelve Quebec cities reached new temperature records for the day.

Montreal reached a record breaking 35.2 degrees while Toronto's Pearson airport was the hottest spot at 37.5.

Health officials remind people of the dangers of such high temperatures. In 2010 over a hundred deaths in Montreal were likely due to heat waves.
