“While you wait for medical attention, try to cool the person by moving them to a cool place, removing extra clothing, applying cold water or ice packs around the body.”

Global News’ meteorologist, Ross Hull, says the entire province will be experiencing warm weather over the next two days, with temperatures expected to cool down beginning Thursday.


“Stay well hydrated as you’re heading out there today, because it will be a warm one, especially in some of that direct sunshine,” said Hull.
