what is a hot wave ? how can we protect ourself
Answers
First of all, let’s define what a heatwave is. A heatwave is defined as three or more consecutive days of hot weather during which temperatures are extremely high during the day and especially at night. When the temperature reaches or exceeds 30°C and the humidex reaches or exceeds 40°C, Environment Canada issues an “extreme heat warning.” During a heatwave, it is crucial to be proactive to prevent sunstroke or dehydration. The signs of heat stress such as muscle cramps, headaches, dizziness, fever, fatigue, and drowsiness should also be monitored very closely.
There are a number of things you should do during a heatwave. It is essential to protect yourself from the heat, cool off, drink and continue to eat.
