Okanagan residents advised to take precautions with high heat in forecast
Mema says when temperatures are that high, people may show signs of heat exhaustion. “People may feel tired, they may feel their heart rate go up, some dizziness and some people may even faint from the heat.”Interior Health says when it’s this hot, the dangerous heat isn’t only outdoors. Heat-related illnesses can happen indoors if the temperature is too high.
“The threshold for indoor temperatures is 31. We don’t recommend anybody spend prolonged periods of time, such as overnight, sleeping or spending the day inside at a temperature of 31 or higher,” said Mema. Mema adds that when out in the heat, children and seniors are the most vulnerable and should be closely monitored.Officials remind British Columbians to take precautions as temperatures expected to rise
