Special weather statement in effect for: all of Huron, Perth, Lambton, and Middlesex. It’s hot out there…as our first heat event of the season is underway!
Hot and increasingly humid weather expected today into Tuesday, with temperatures approaching 30 today in many areas. Temperatures tonight are forecast to briefly dip into the upper teens.
But temperatures tomorrow will be in the low 30s, with very little relief coming Tuesday night. Cooler air is expected to arrive on Wednesday.
These conditions pose a health risk when you are not used to the heat.
Everyone is at risk from heat, especially older adults; infants and young children; and people with chronic illnesses.
You are advised to 1) drink plenty of cool liquids before feeling thirsty; and 2) keep cool by dressing for the weather and spending more time in a cool place.
