Global News
Environment Canada issued a heat warning for Nova Scotia on Tuesday. The weather agency forecasted conditions to feel like 41 C with the humidex value throughout the week.
Parts of Nova Scotia are forecast to endure a week of “very hot and humid weather” when conditions could reach 41 C with the humidex value, according to a heat alert issued by Environment Canada on Tuesday morning.
The weather agency issued the warning for inland sections of western Nova Scotia, including the Annapolis Valley, but temperatures in the Halifax area are anticipated to reach similar heights throughout the week as well. The city is expected to feel like 36 C with the humidex on Wednesday.
As for the areas included in Tuesday’s weather alert, stretching from Kings County through to Yarmouth, temperatures are projected to reach 29 C with a humidex value of 35 on Tuesday.
Following that, temperatures will slightly increase on Wednesday before potentially rising to 34 C with a humidex value of 41 on Thursday.
“These very warm conditions could possibly continue into Friday,” the weather statement noted.
The notice from Environment Canada, which was released at 5:06 a.m. Tuesday, said people should call 911 immediately if they or someone they are caring for has a high body temperature and has stopped sweating, is showing signs of confusion, or has become unconscious.
In addition, the agency recommended people watch out for signs of fatigue, headaches, or thirst as these symptoms can all be early signs of heat illness — which can “rapidly evolve into life-threatening emergencies.”
