Update – Heat warning continues

Very warm and humid conditions will continue.

Time span: continuing through Wednesday.

Locations: all of Nova Scotia.

Maximum daytime temperatures : near 28 to 31 degrees Celsius (Humidex 36 to 39).
Minimum overnight temperatures: near 17 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Remarks: A period of very warm and humid weather has once again settled over the province. Temperatures and humidex values are expected to peak Monday through Wednesday afternoon.

Conditions will improve across the province on Wednesday night.

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.

Limit direct sun exposure. Shade yourself by wearing a wide-brimmed, breathable hat and/or an umbrella.

Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.

Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
