Heatwave Hits Windsor: Scorching Temps and Storm Risk This Weekend

Hey everyone, it’s Saturday, July 12th, 2025, and if you’ve stepped outside this morning in Windsor, you already know—it’s a scorcher. The summer heat has officially cranked up, and today’s forecast brings both sunshine and potential trouble. Let me walk you through what to expect so you can plan your day wisely.

We're looking at a classic mid-summer mix of sun and cloud for most of the day. But don’t let the mild start fool you—there’s a 60% chance of showers this afternoon, and along with that comes the risk of thunderstorms. So if you're heading out, especially in the late afternoon, keep an umbrella or rain jacket nearby and stay weather-aware.

Now, here’s where it gets intense: the high for today is 33°C, but with the humidex factored in, it’s going to feel more like 44°C. Yes, 44! That kind of heat is no joke. We’re under a heat warning, so this is your reminder to stay cool, stay hydrated, and take it easy if you're outdoors. If you can, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially between noon and 4 PM when it’s at its most brutal.

Winds are expected to shift and pick up later in the day, coming from the south at 20 km/h and gusting up to 40 km/h. That extra breeze might sound like relief, but it could also fuel those late-day thunderstorms. Any storms that do develop could be strong, with sudden wind gusts and heavy rain. It’s not a bad idea to keep an eye on radar updates or weather alerts on your phone.

The UV index is sitting at a very high 9, so don’t skip the sunscreen if you’re heading to a festival, beach, or backyard barbecue. Even with some cloud cover, UV rays can still cause damage quickly.

So in short, today’s a bit of a weather roller coaster—hot, humid, and with the chance of storms sneaking in by late afternoon. Whether you’re enjoying the Windsor-Essex summer events or just running errands, keep your weather radar up, stay safe, and look out for one another.

And hey, if you're staying indoors with the AC blasting, no judgment here—you’re the smart one today.

Stay cool, Windsor.
