Seasonal temperatures have returned after two days of record heat in Sarnia-Lambton.
Environment Canada says the mercury hit 33.7 C (93 F) at Chris Hadfield Airport Monday, narrowly beating the previous record high for June 18 of 33.6 C set in 1994.
The humidex reached 43 C (109 F) at mid-afternoon.
A new record high of 34.2 C was set on Father's Day Sunday, breaking the previous mark for June 17 of 33.7 C in 2014.
While that sort of heat can be dangerous, meteorologist Geoff Coulson says he's heard from many people who like the sweltering conditions.
"There seems to be a significant number of Canadians, Ontarians that I talk to through the media and other clients, that really love 30-plus weather with the 40 humidex," says Coulson. "I'm not a huge fan personally, but I think a lot of folks feel that winter is long enough as it is and they just relish these days of heat and humidity."
The heat event ended with the arrival of a sharp cold front that triggered severe thunderstorms, knocking out power to thousands across Sarnia-Lambton Monday afternoon and evening.
All Bluewater Power and Hydro One customers had service restored by around 9:30pm.
