Scorching temperatures continue in Central, Eastern Canada

Temperatures continue to soar in parts of Central and Eastern Canada as residents try to keep cool during a sustained summer heat wave.
A pocket of heat coming from the American Midwest forced temperatures into the mid- to high-30s in urban centres like Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto earlier this week, but the sustained humidity is making it feel more like the 40 C or higher.
An extreme heat advisory remains in effect in Toronto, where public health officials have opened cooling centres and are urging residents to stay hydrated and check on vulnerable neighbours.
Hospitals throughout Ontario reported a spike in emergency room visits as people were treated for breathing difficulties, dizziness and fatigue.
In Montreal, the blistering heat is taking its toll, as residents try to go about their daily business under unrelenting sunshine and humidity.
As the mercury rose to 33 C, officials there also issued health advisories urging residents reduce physical activity and drink plenty of water. Many people flocked to the city?s municipal pools, which are being kept open later into the evening.
Montreal?s public health department was also investigating Wednesday whether two deaths are linked to the heat.
Wet weather has been following the heat, with the Ottawa Valley and Western Quebec receiving summer storms. Trees were uprooted as high winds and heavy rains descended on the Pembroke, Ont., area Wednesday.
Environment Canada has issued several severe thunderstorm warnings for parts of Ontario and Quebec.
Maritimers were given some respite from the heat Wednesday as the humidity lifted overnight. However, the humidity will return as showers move in on Thursday.
Environment Canada climatologist Dave Phillips said despite the discomfort, the temperatures are normal for this time of year.
?The good news is that the air quality has been actually very good to moderate,? he told CTV News Channel.
?It?s very much part of the dog days of summer, just a little longer than we sometimes see,? Phillips added.
CTV Atlantic meteorologist Cindy Day said closer to the weekend, the extreme temperatures and humidity will taper off as the high pressure system responsible for the heat moves westward and dry, cool air moves in.
South of the border, many U.S. states are also contending with intense heat, with some areas reaching to the high 30s with accompanying humidity.
At least one death in the U.S. is being blamed on high temperatures. An elderly man succumbed to heat exhaustion after wandering from his Kentucky home, officials said.

Boeing's latest 787 fire poses major test of jet's carbon skin
By Alwyn Scott and Tim Hepher
SEATTLE/PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing
British investigators say that the Ethiopian Airline's
Wall Street, and passengers, so far appear little concerned: the stock is expected to stabilize on Monday after slipping 4.7 percent on Friday from a near all-time high. Airlines are keeping their 787s in the air and passengers are not canceling trips in Japan, the 787's biggest market.
But the visible scorching on the top rear of the fuselage of the 250-seat plane puts a major innovation of the 787 - its lightweight, carbon-plastic composite construction - under a spotlight with a fresh set of questions around the plane that Boeing and investors had hoped were behind it.
The key question for both: can the burned plane be fixed easily and at a reasonable cost?
While composites have been used in aerospace for decades, the 787 is the first commercial jetliner built mainly from carbon-plastic materials, whose weight savings, combined with new engines, are supposed to slash fuel costs 20 percent and operating costs by 10 percent compared with traditional aluminum alloy.
In designing the Dreamliner, Boeing engineers also added a weight-saving electrical system that was sorely tested when its lithium-ion batteries overheated on two 787s in January. The system also suffered a fire in 2010 during the plane's test phase, and could come under scrutiny again if the Ethiopian Airlines blaze is traced to an electrical fault.
The two systems are supposed to put Boeing at least a decade ahead of its rivals in the way aircraft is designed, built and operated. Boeing wants the 787 to become its most profitable passenger plane - and a fountain of innovation to feed designs of other future planes.
Now they are both being tested again at a time when the company is designing new planes and building up its factory production to fill a record book of orders.
Boeing declined to comment other than to say it is cooperating with the investigation of the fire.
CARBON TEST
Such extensive composite repairs have not previously been performed on an operating commercial plane. So the Ethiopian Airline fire is the first chance airlines, financiers and competitors will have to see a real example of how and at what cost the repair can be done.
"Everyone in the industry is going to follow this closely," said Hans Weber, president of TECOP International and an aviation consultant who has worked on composite testing technology. "It's the ultimate test."
Carbon-composite technology and repair have been in use much longer than lithium-ion batteries. Boeing and others have had carbon fiber in military planes, such as the B2 Stealth Bomber, for more than 25 years.
The 787's composite skin can be patched by grinding out the damaged section, applying fresh layers of fiber and resin and then curing with heat under vacuum pressure, according to a Boeing engineer with knowledge of the process. The work can be done on site, and repair stations have been learning to make repairs to service the plane around the world.
But the true cost and complexity of repair remains a key question for industry, airlines and competitors. In developing its rival A350 plane, Airbus
Boeing chose to build one-piece, barrel-shaped fuselage sections that are bolted together to form a fuselage that it says is more aerodynamic and cheaper to maintain.
Boeing could make a new piece of fuselage and attach it if the damaged area was not too large, said the Boeing engineer. In a worst case, the entire rear section of the fuselage could be replaced, Weber said, an expensive fix that might cost more than the plane is worth.
PASSENGERS UNFAZED
The Ethiopian Airlines fire was noticed eight hours after the plane had been parked at a remote stand, the airline said, adding it was not a safety issue because the plane was not in flight and no passengers were aboard.
Fires break out on parked planes about 60 times a year, and most are from "human error" such as leaving a circuit on or cigarette butt, Weber said. A fire on a different type of plane might have gone unreported. Britain's Air Accident Investigations Branch termed the 787 fire a "serious incident" and said the initial investigation was likely to take several days.
Passengers appear to be sticking with the Dreamliner for now. Over the weekend, major travel agents in Japan, where most 787s are operating, said they had not seen reduction in bookings for 787 flights, and the plane remains in flight on the 13 airlines that currently operate it.
"We've received no such inquiries," said an official at JTB's Yurakucho branch in Tokyo. The company typically sells package tours, "and if there's a trouble, we change aircraft or routes for our customers."
In the near term, many stock analysts say they expect the stock to rise following the Friday decline. "I think investors will largely look past the incident, absent more info that suggests ongoing problem," said Carter Copeland, an analyst at Barclays in New York.
Boeing's stock has climbed more than 40 percent this year as investors focused on the company's record pace of jet production, which is generating cash.
Some are more cautious. Jeff Straebler, managing director and investment analyst at John Hancock Financial Services, said: "Until there is more information available on the cause, I don't think any judgments should be made."
