If you thought Barrie was finally getting a break after winter... Mother Nature would like a word.

This week's forecast is serving up sunshine, humidity, and temperatures climbing into the low 30s, with some days feeling even hotter.

If you're a mom, that means you're sweating through camp pickups, grocery runs, and wondering if it's acceptable to live inside the freezer aisle.
