Well above average temperatures forecast for the rest of the week has prompted a heat warning for the Grande Prairie region.
Environment Canada says daytime high temperatures hitting close to 33 degrees Celsius with overnight low temperatures ranging between 14 to 18 degrees Celsius are forecast to kick off Wednesday and linger in the area through the week.
The heat warnings will end this weekend as daytime high temperatures return to more moderate levels with 22 Celsius forecast for Saturday.
Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone’s health. Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness. Check on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day.
Watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue. Stop your activity and drink water.
