There is a heat warning in effect for the city of Winnipeg and southern Manitoba.
Environment Canada shares that there will be hot and humid conditions over portions of southern Manitoba on Saturday, with humidex values reaching 38 during the afternoon.
Saturday night, there will be a cold front sweeping over Manitoba that should abate the intense heat.
Throughout the day, with mostly sunny conditions, people should watch for heat exhaustion or heat stroke signs and symptoms. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine as well as intense fatigue. If that happens, people should stop their activity and drink water in slow, constant sips.
If someone goes unconscious from heat exposure, 9-1-1 should be called immediately as heat stroke can kill.
If someone around is showing signs of heat stroke, which can include red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. While you wait for medical attention, try to cool the person by moving them to a cool place, removing extra clothing, applying cold water or ice packs around the body.
