Heat warning issued for northern Manitoba
A heat wave is expected to move into parts of northern Manitoba beginning Thursday afternoon, Environment Canada says.
Daytime highs of 29 C or above are forecast for northern communities in the province for the next several days, with overnight lows around 16 C, Environment Canada said in alerts posted online Wednesday.
The warnings stretch across most of northern Manitoba, including The Pas, Norway House, Brochet, Tadoule Lake, Pukatawagan, Thomson, Flin Flon, Cranberry Portage and Snow Lake.
The northeastern most parts of the province, including Churchill, were not under the heat warning as of Wednesday afternoon.
Extreme heat can affect anyone’s health, but the risks are greater for older adults, infants, young children, pregnant people, people with physical and/or mental illnesses and those with disabilities or mobility issues, Environment Canada said.
Effects of heat illness can include swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
Anyone who experiences symptoms of heat illness should immediately move to a cooler environment, such as a shaded or air-conditioned space, splash pad or misting station, the weather agency said in its warning.
Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty, to decrease your risk of dehydration — thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration.
Other tips from Environment Canada:
- Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty, to decrease your risk of dehydration.
- Limit direct sun exposure by wearing a wide-brimmed, breathable hat and/or using an umbrella, and wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing.
- Keep your house cool by turning on air conditioning or blocking the sun by closing curtains or blinds, or relocate to a cooler location such as a basement.
- Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.
- All workers should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool or shaded space.
- Check regularly on people living alone, especially older individuals or people with health conditions.
