A week after aheat warning issued by Environment Canada, Toronto is preparing to break a record for the muggiest August 19 recorded in the city since 1955.

This summer, Toronto weather has been very inconsistent, withcooler and extreme weatherfinallystepping asideinAugustto make way for the relentlesshumidityandheat warningsthat have become a quintessential part of the local summer experience.

The latest meteorological news means Toronto should expect humid, sticky conditions tomorrow. Though Environment Canada is forecasting seasonal temperatures with ahigh of 29 Cfor Thursday, a report from weather serviceRolf's Weathershows that humidex values will have the air feeling like 37 C.

This added heat factor will make tomorrow the muggiest August 19 on record since 1955, when meteorologists measured a humidex factor of 40.2 degrees.

The latest measurement would make tomorrow the hottest and most humid August 19th since an era when Toronto's first subway was just a year old, and the city was home to only 1,365,000.

Environment Canada has issued heat warnings throughout northern and western Ontario and Special Weather Statements for the Quebec-Ontario border.

Despite the high humidex factors in store for Toronto and the surrounding region, no warnings or statements have been issued for the Greater Toronto Area or anywhere else in Southern Ontario.

The City's13 emergency cooling centreswill not be operational without an official warning or weather statement despite the oppressive heat.

It is still probably a good idea to follow the same suggestions officials would be suggesting to stay safe, such as seeking out shady, cool or air-conditioned places and avoid prolonged exposure to the heat.

These latest extreme heat statistics come after another few heat-related records were nearly broken in the city this month.
