A large heat ridge or dome will build over the Ohio Valley in the U.S. and expand into southeastern Canada by the end of the weekend .
Temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-30s C and the humidex could make that feel much higher.
Heat exhaustion is characterized by headache, dizziness, extreme thirst, heavy sweating, muscle cramps and nausea and vomiting.
Vulnerable populations, such as youth and older adults, may find it more difficult to beat the heat.
A B.C. coroner’s report following the 2023 heat dome noted that 98 per cent of the 619 deaths identified as being related to heat occurred indoors.
Those living alone or socially isolated can also be vulnerable to heat.
Older adults and those living alone should reach out to other people to let them know they’re on their own.
