Ottawa Braces for Return of Rain After Humid Day

Key takeaways

  • Rain is expected in Ottawa tonight
  • Temperatures will remain high despite the rain
  • The humidity has made conditions uncomfortable

After a humid day in Ottawa, rain is expected to return tonight, making it feel like 29 degrees Celsius according to local reports.

The city has experienced high temperatures and humidity levels throughout the day, with no respite in sight until the evening.

'Tonight, we will see a few showers moving through the area,' said a meteorologist from Ottawa's weather service. 'These showers are expected to continue into tomorrow morning.'

The humidity has led to uncomfortable conditions for many residents, with the heat index making it feel significantly hotter than the actual temperature.

This return of rain is likely to provide some relief from the humid conditions, although temperatures are still expected to remain high.

'While the rain will help cool things down a bit, we can expect temperatures to stay above average for the next few days,' added the meteorologist.
