It's Wednesday, July 15th. Good morning. Happy hump day. It already feels 31 in New Market Aurora. The dollar trading 71.18 cents U.S. as oil is up to 80 bucks a barrel. Gas followed suit, jumping 7 cents to $1.71. I'm Stacey Englehart. The sweltering heat wave continues to cover the GTA today. Environment Canada said the yellow weather alert remains in effect, but tomorrow things get a little bit cooler. Now there's also an air quality warning for areas of York Region because of smoke from forest fires. People are urged to turn on their AC, limit exposure to the sun, and drink plenty of fluids. The Bank of Canada set to deliver its fifth interest rate decision of the year this morning. Economists expect the bank to remain on hold, keeping its policy rate at 2.25%. Officials say they're willing to look beyond the initial price shock of the war, but prepared to act if there are signs inflation is spreading beyond the gas pumps, like at grocery stores. So does it mean we're next? It should if it goes through. And if it does, changing the clocks back and forth twice a year will be a thing of the past. The U.S. government passed a bill yesterday to make daylight time permanent, so that proposed law now goes to the Senate for a vote. Ontario passed a law in 2020 saying they will stop changing the clocks and move to permanent daylight time if New York State and Quebec do the exact same thing. Hot country sports. The baseball All-Star game was yesterday. The American League beat the National League 4-0, the first shutout in 13 years. FIFA World Cup semi-final. Spain blanked France 2-0 and moves on to the final. Who will they play? We'll find out this afternoon when England takes on Argentina at 3. And in the WNBA, the Toronto Tempo lost to Washington 79-62. Hot country weather. We've got a yellow heat warning and an air quality warning in effect. A mix of sun and cloud and local smoke and feeling 34 this afternoon. Tonight clear, smoky 18. Sunny tomorrow, smoky once again and a humidex feeling in the low 30s. Right now, 25 feels 31 degrees with the humidex in Newmarket Aurora. I'm Stacey Englehart.
