A severe thunderstorm watch has ended for Toronto and several areas north of the city.
Environment Canada issued the watch Sunday morning, noting that conditions were favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms which could drop as much as 50 mm in some areas, as well as nickel-sized hail and strong wind gusts.
The watch also extended to Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham.
The national weather service cancelled the watch just before 2 p.m.
Toronto and all of southern Ontario are currently into the third day of a heat warning, with forecast highs of between 29 and 32 C, with the humidex making it feel like 40.
“The heat is expected to ease somewhat Monday with hotter and more humid conditions returning on Tuesday,” said the national weather service.
