It’s going to be a scorcher.

Environment Canada has issued heat warnings for every part of Nova Scotia except Cape Breton, as well as central and southern New Brunswick, over the next two days.

Heat warnings are issued when temperatures or humidity conditions are so high, it poses a higher risk of heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

According to the national forecaster, temperatures are expected to reach 33 or 34 degrees Celsius — with overnight lows of around 18 degrees Celsius — from Monday until Tuesday.

Heat warnings have been issued for other parts of the country as well, including parts of Ontario and Quebec.
