Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Fri. August 8th, 2025
August 8, 2025
Ottawa hasn’t seen a drop of rain for nearly 2 weeks. And as we head into another blazing-hot August weekend, Canada’s Capital is under a Heat Warning, with daily temperatures expected to hit and surpass 30 degrees Celsius over the next few days. We examine what’s to come in Hour 2 with Environment Canada meteorologist Crawford Luke. Over in Navan, festival organizers are crossing their fingers for a favourable forecast, as the annual Navan Fair kicks into high-gear. That’s a noteworthy event because it officially lights the fire for Fair Season! We go 1-on-1 with Tracey Hayes, who is the Advertising Director and Spokesperson for this longstanding event.

The so-called Daves Creek fire is currently burning 15 kilometres east of Kelowna near Highway 33, which officials have closed between Goudie Road and Cardinal Creek.

When her neighbours came knocking at her door last Monday afternoon telling her to evacuate, Barbara Watson was calm. Too calm. From her church-conversion house in Small Point-Adam’s Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, N.L., she could see smoke in the distance, yes, but assumed it was a little fire in the woods that would be easy to extinguish. She grabbed her small cross-body bag, some freshly washed laundry and her asthma inhaler and headed to a friend’s place in Western Bay, a 10-minute drive away, assuming the evacuation order would be lifted in a day or two.
