5 Things You Need To Know

July 22nd is the 203rd day of the year. There are 162 days remaining until the end of the year.

There is a heat warning in effect for Chatham-Kent and Windsor Essex continuing into Saturday.

Daytime high temperatures in the low thirties with humidex values in the mid to high thirties are expected until Saturday. Overnight lows in the low twenties will provide little relief from the heat.

There is a possibility that the heat event could stretch into Sunday, however cooler temperatures are expected at this stage.

Watch for the symptoms of heat illness: dizziness/fainting; nausea/vomiting; rapid breathing and heartbeat; extreme thirst; decreased urination with unusually dark urine.

Check on older family, friends and neighbours. Make sure they are cool and drinking water

Seek a cool place such as a tree-shaded area, swimming pool, shower or bath, or air-conditioned spot like a public building.

Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.
