Heat Warnings issued for nearly all of the Maritimes

10:19 PM ADT Monday 23 July 2018
Heat Warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
A very warm and humid airmass has settled over the region and will likely persist at least through Wednesday.

Temperatures will remain just above 20 degrees tonight over most of New Brunswick giving humidex of near 30 tonight.

On Tuesday more sunshine is expected across the entire province, and with humidity remaining very high, humidex values are expected to reach the 36 to 39 range across almost the entire province except for areas close to the Fundy coast. Similar conditions are expected on Wednesday.

Some relief to the warmer temperatures is possible by Thursday as cloud and some rain are expected to move into the region, but humidity will still remain very high.

The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.

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

Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.
