| Brief Description | HEAT WARNING | |
| Detailed Description | 7:55 AM MST Friday 26 July 2024 Heat Warning in effect for: Dawson Temperatures reaching 28 degrees Celsius combined with overnight lows near 14 degrees Celsius will continue. Where: Dawson, Mayo, Pelly, Carmacks, Dempster Highway and Old Crow. When: Today. Remarks: A warm airmass has settled over the central Yukon. Temperatures are expected to be between 5 and 8 degrees above seasonal normals. Slightly cooler conditions are expected to arrive tonight. In areas with wildfire smoke, temperatures will vary depending on the concentration of smoke since thick smoke will suppress daytime maximum temperatures. Extreme heat can affect everyone?s health. 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. Reduce your heat risk. Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day. Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. Ask a health professional, such as a pharmacist or physician, how medications or health conditions can affect your risk in the heat. All workers should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool or shaded space. To get more information: - Check the local news for health and safety updates. - Check Yukon Health and Social Services online resources about heat-related illness and how to protect yourself at yukon.ca/heatevents . - Call Yukon HealthLine at 8-1-1 to ask about heat-related illness. Environment Canada and local Medical Health Officers expect an increase in health and safety risks from heat and are advising the public to take precautions. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to YTstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #YTStorm .
