We’re getting ready for a storm!
Environment Canada says heavy rainfall is expected this week as part of remnants of Hurricane Beryl. A heat warning continues as well:
“Daytime highs are expected to be near 31 degrees Celsius with humidex values of 35 to 38.
“Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high risk category.
“A cooler airmass is expected to arrive tonight.
“The health risks are greater for older adults, infants and young children, pregnant people, people with physical and/or mental illnesses, and people with disabilities or mobility issues.
“Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
“Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
“Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.”
