If it’s winter, it must be pothole season. Boy, it must be pothole season. “A lady stopped by the other day, she was taking pictures. She was really mad,” Peter Wasluk, of 156 Amherst St., said as he regarded a chunk of missing pavement in front of his home Tuesday morning. “She blew two tires out on her Audi and had to be towed away.

Toronto has issued a heat alert as the mercury soars into the low 30s on Tuesday — but it's going to feel a lot hotter. The hot air stretches right across southern Ontario and in most parts it's going to feel like 40 C, or higher, with the humidex factored in. Environment Canada has also issued a humidex advisory, warning people to take precautions. "This is day one of three days of humidex values into the 40s," said CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe. "So it will feel like 43 C outside today, Wednesday and Thursday —temperatures alone soaring into the 30s. But with that humidity we're approaching dangerous levels and that's why Environment Canada has issued the advisory. Sort of a heads up to the public: stay indoors, seek shade, drink lots of water because this is not only uncomfortable but dangerous when we get these kinds of humidity levels," she said. The heat alert issued by Toronto's chief medical officer advises residents to "call or visit family, friends and neighbours, especially isolated adults and seniors who are at greater risk of suffering from heat-related illness, to make sure they are cool and drinking plenty of fluids." People are advised to drink plenty of fluids and to not to do too much strenuous work outside. "Friday we're looking to break a cold front will finally move through. By Friday, temperatures back down to the mid-20s," Wagstaffe said.

Seriously.
