Environment Canada is calling for a two-day spike in temperatures, with the daytime high on Tuesday and Wednesday expected to reach 31 C. Humidex values will make it feel more like the high 30s both days, the weather agency predicted. The health unit has a series of tips to avoid heat-related illness, including getting plenty of water, avoiding spending too much time outside if possible, and never learning a child or pet in a parked car or outside in direct sunlight.Heath stroke happens when the body has no ability to acclimatize to the heat, said Yan.
"If somebody is feeling any symptoms of anything that's concerning to them themselves and it's not self-resolving after moving to a cooler environment or dehydrating, then certainly they should seek medical attention," he said.
