Horseback Ridge Vädervarningar

yellow warning - heat - in effect Humidex values reaching 40 are expected. Locations: Northern and western New Brunswick. Time span: Today until Friday night. Maximum temperature today: Near 29 degrees Celsius (Humidex: 37). Minimum temperature tonight: 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Maximum temperature Thursday: 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (Humidex: near 40). Minimum temperature Thursday night: 20 to 22 degrees Celsius. Maximum temperature Friday: 29 to 32 degrees Celsius (Humidex 36 to 40). Remarks: A very warm and increasingly humid air mass will gradually move into the region over the next couple of days. Nighttime lows are also forecast to stay warm, providing little to no relief. The air mass may linger over the region into Saturday, though some uncertainty still exists. Cooler conditions can be expected along parts of the Fundy coast. Most of northern and western New Brunswick will reach heat warning criteria today and then the remainder of the province on Thursday. Forecast guidance shows a generally good consensus regarding the timing of this event, though some uncertainty remains for the areas closest to the Bay of Fundy where heat warning levels may not be reached. Remarks: Humidex values of 40 or higher are expected over all areas of New Brunswick (except coastal Fundy areas) from 2 P.M. to 7 P.M. on Thursday and over southern New Brunswick (except coastal Fundy areas) from 2 P.M. to 7 P.M. on Friday. ### 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.

To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or post reports on X using #NBStorm. Take action to protect yourself and others – extreme heat can affect everyone’s health. Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness. Check on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day. Watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue. Stop your activity and drink water. Heat stroke is a medical emergency! Call 9-1-1 or your emergency health provider if you, or someone around you, is showing signs of heat stroke which can include red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. 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. Drink water often and before you feel thirsty to replace fluids. Close blinds, or shades and open windows if outside is cooler than inside. Turn on air conditioning, use a fan, or move to a cooler area of your living space. If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park. Follow the advice of your region’s public health authority.
