9:29 PM ADT Tuesday 18 June 2024

A period of very hot and humid weather is occurring.

Time span: continuing through Thursday.

Minimum temperature tonight: 18 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Maximum temperature Wednesday: 30 to 35 degrees Celsius (Humidex 38 to 45)

Minimum temperature Wednesday night: 21 to 24 degrees Celsius.

Maximum temperature Thursday: 30 to 35 degrees Celsius (Humidex 39 to 45)

Minimum temperature Thursday night: 17 to 20 degrees Celsius. Cooler in northern sections of the province.

Locations: New Brunswick.

Remarks: Hot and humid conditions could possibly continue into Friday, especially over southern areas of the province. Nighttime lows are expected to remain very warm for the period, limiting overnight cooling.

Drink plenty of water regularly, even before you feel thirsty to decrease your risk of dehydration. Thirst is not a good indicator of dehydration. 

Watch for early signs of heat illness - feeling unwell, fatigue, thirst, headache - all these can rapidly evolve into life-threatening emergencies. Move to a cooler environment immediately, such as a shaded or air-conditioned space.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency! Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if you or someone you are caring for has a high body temperature and is either confused, has stopped sweating or becomes unconscious. While waiting for help, cool the person right away: move them to a cool place, apply cold water to large areas of the skin and fan the person as much as possible.

Reduce your heat risk.  Schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day.

Never leave people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.

All workers should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool or shaded space.

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.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NBstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NBStorm.
