Locations: Nova Scotia, excluding extreme western areas.
Maximum daytime temperatures: near 28 to 31 degrees Celsius (Humidex 36 to 39).

Extreme heat can affect everyone’s health.
Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
