Hit by hot and humid weather, southeastern Ontario and southern and central Quebec are under a series of warnings and weather watches.
Strong gusts of wind passed through most parts of Toronto on Saturday afternoon. A boat carrying 15 to 20 people capsized during a severe storm near the shores of Lake Ontario.
Extreme storm surveillance has been removed by Environment Canada.
However, severe hurricane warnings are currently in effect for some cities in southern Ontario. This is particularly the case in Ottawa, where Environment Canada meteorologists are monitoring the development of a hurricane extremely dangerous that can cause destructive hail and hail up to the size of a two dollar coin.
The Haute-Gatineau and Papineau sectors, in Outaouais, were also affected by this warning. Environment Canada warns that violent storms can lead to the formation of tornadoes.
Farther east, intense hurricane surveillance is in effect for the Montreal metropolitan area, more specifically in the areas of Châteauguay-La Prairie, the islands of Montreal, Laval and Longueuil-Varennes. According to Environment Canada, the conditions contribute to the formation of very strong gusts, large hail and heavy rain from this afternoon to evening.
It’s been a long weekend and we know everyone wants to take advantage of it to do outdoor activities. We must really be aware of what is going on around ussaid Gérald Cheng, meteorologist at Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Tornado watches are valid in several regions, such as Estrie, Drummondville – Bois-Francs, Mauricie, Beauce, Québec and Montmagny-L’Islet.
Environment Canada remembers this This is a dangerous situation that can cause fatal injury.
Residents of the affected areas should therefore be prepared and immediately hide if an impending weather phenomenon is approaching.
