What does the speaker report about the heat wave?

Good morning, this is Alonzo Jacob with your Monday weather report. The heat wave that slowed everybody down this weekend is showing no signs of letting up this week. Our meteorologists suggest that today’s temperature could climb to as high as 40 degrees Celsius by the afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the temperature here at the airport is already 29 degrees. Unfortunately, there is also no rain in the forecast for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty forest fires that are raging across the interior of our province. That’s all for today’s weather.
