WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Heat Warning in effect for:
- Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
- Orillia - Lagoon City - Washago
Hot and humid conditions are expected to continue into Thursday.
Daytime temperatures will reach the high twenties to low thirties again on Thursday. These high temperatures will combine with high humidity to result in humidex values near 40. High temperatures Friday may also reach the upper twenties with humidex values again approaching 40 before cooler and less humid air arrives.
Warm temperatures above 20 degrees each night will provide little relief from the heat.
Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can cause the Air Quality Health Index to approach the high risk category.
Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
Drink plenty of water even before you feel thirsty and stay in a cool place.
Reduce your heat risk. Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day.
Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
