Temperatures could climb to as high as 31 C in the province.

As always, make sure to stay cool and keep hydrated.

Don’t leave people or pets inside parked vehicles and keep an eye on young children, pregnant individuals, older adults and those with chronic illnesses as the risks of heat exposure are greater for those groups.
