If you are planning on heading out to the many Canada Day events across Central Alberta over the next couple days, keep in mind it is going to be hot.
Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures in the high 20's for the rest of Monday afternoon and Tuesday (Canada Day). Some areas including Three Hills and Trochu are under a heat warning.
Make sure if you heading to any events or plan to be outside to carry lots of water for you and your pets, and to get in the shade as much as possible.
Watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue.
Drink water often and before you feel thirsty to replace fluids. Close blinds, or shades and open windows if outside is cooler than inside. Turn on air conditioning, use a fan, or move to a cooler area of your living space.
If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park.
Never leave people, especially children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. Check the vehicle before locking to make sure no one is left behind.
