A heat warning remains in place in Edmonton on this hazy Sunday. It’s already 22 C at the Blatchford weather station with a 7 km/h wind out of the northwest. The mercury is on its way up to 31 C today, 33 with the humidex, according to Environment Canada.
It’s worth repeating from yesterday’s meteorological update that there are some important safety tips you should follow in such conditions:
- Consider rescheduling outdoor activities to cooler hours of the day.
- Take frequent breaks from the heat, spending time in cooled indoor spaces where possible.
- Drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated.
- Check for your children or pets before you exit your vehicle. Do not leave any person or pet inside a closed vehicle, for any length of time.
