| Detailed Description |
3:36 PM CST Saturday 10 August 2024 Heat Warning in effect for: Wollaston Lake - Collins Bay Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected until early next week. Daytime high temperatures will be near 30 degrees Celsius, while overnight lows in the mid teens will not provide much relief from the heat. Temperatures are expected to moderate on Tuesday. 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. Check several times a day on older family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are cool and drinking water. 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. Watch for early signs of heat illness (feeling unwell, fatigue, thirst, headache) as these can rapidly evolve into life-threatening emergencies. Move to a cooler environment immediately, such as a shaded or air-conditioned space. Please call HealthLine 811 for advice on health risks, symptoms and precautions associated with heat.
