Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent — and it's expected to continue into Monday night.

Daytime temperatures will increase between 31 and 34 C with humidex values nearing 40 C, according to the weather authority.

Overnight lows will provide "little relief from the heat" — with Environment Canada forecasting them to fall between 20 and 22 C.

A cold front is expected to move Tuesday through southwestern Ontario, bringing with it showers, thunderstorms and "an end to the heat and humidity."

A previously-declared heat alert from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit was called last Monday but ended the next day.
