Conditions are expected to ease by tomorrow
A heat warning remains in effect for the Brockville – Prescott area, with temperatures reaching 30 to 32 C and humidex values between 38 and 41. The warning is expected to end tonight as cooler air moves in by tomorrow.
Environment Canada urges people to take steps to stay safe. Heat can affect anyone, but older adults, people living alone, and those with health conditions are at greater risk.
Drink water often, even before feeling thirsty. Stay in a cool space, wear light clothing and avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day. Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like headache, nausea and dizziness.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 if someone shows signs like red skin, confusion, or fainting. While waiting for help, try to cool them down.
For updates, follow Environment Canada alerts and check on vulnerable people often.
