UPDATE: Severe thunderstorm watch issued, heat warning still in effect

It was another hot one.
The good news is that the end of this mini-heat wave is in sight.
The bad news is that it might take a major thunderstorm to get there.
Today’s high reached about 32 C but the humidex pushed that to about 42.
With a 1pm humidex of 41.8, today is #Ottawa's muggiest August day in more than 6 years, since Aug 4th, 2012. #OttNews
