The Maritime provinces are anticipating several days of hot and humid weather, with heat warnings issued. This is due to a heat wave that has moved east from Ontario and Quebec. One meteorologist indicates that the uncomfortable conditions are expected to last until Saturday, with cooler air arriving by Sunday. Other reports confirm the arrival of hot, muggy weather. Residents should prepare for the heat, and future coverage may detail specific impacts and safety advice.

This explanation is simplified to help readers understand the story. It is not factual reporting and should be checked against the original source articles before being cited or shared.
