How ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½nians can protect themselves
As temperatures climb, Environment Canada is urging people to drink water often — and before you feel thirsty.
As well, you should plan outdoor activities for the coolest parts of the day, limit direct sun and heat exposure and wear light and loose clothing with a wide-brimmed hate.
Open your windows if it’s cooler outside than indoors, but otherwise, keep your blinds and shades closed, the agency said. You should also turn on air conditioning or a fan, or move to a cooler part of your home.
Plus, watch out for signs of heat exhaustion, which might include a headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue. People who suspect heat exhaustion should stop activities and drink water, the agency said.Â
On the other hand, heat stroke is a medical emergency, with signs including red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and a change in consciousness. If you see signs of heat stroke, call for emergency medical attention and try to cool the person down.
ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½nians can also use the city’s to find public pools, community centres and other free spots to beat the July heat.
