Humidex and health advisory for:
=new= Mainland Nova Scotia

Further details follow in the next regular public forecast.
The Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness advises the
following:
Stay in shaded or air conditioned areas as much as possible, drink
plenty of water, wear light clothing and take breaks often if you are
exercising or working outdoors. Consideration should be given to
postpone strenuous exercise or work until a cooler time of the day.
Organizers of sport and recreational activities should build in
regular water breaks and consider rescheduling activities.
The elderly, babies and young children, or people with heart or lung
problems are most at risk of serious heat-related illness.
People taking medications, especially for mental health conditions,
should check with their doctor or pharmacist to see if they are more
at risk from high temperatures.
