ECC continues it’s HEAT WARNING for ONTARIO, QUEBEC, NEW BRUNSWICK, NOVA SCOTIA and NEWFOUNDLAND.
Environment Canada is advising – “A prolonged heat event continues through Friday or Saturday. Dangerously hot and humid conditions are expected. Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. Watch for early signs of heat illness – feeling unwell, fatigue, thirst, headache – all these can rapidly evolve into life-threatening emergencies. Move to a cooler environment immediately, such as a shaded or air-conditioned space. Heat stroke is a medical emergency! Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you or someone you are caring for has a high body temperature and is either confused, has stopped sweating or becomes unconscious. While waiting for help, cool the person right away: move them to a cool place, apply cold water to large areas of the skin and fan the person as much as possible.”
