Environment Canada suggests that it could get even hotter after Friday, writing that "the combined values of temperatures and humidity will produce humidex values between 35 and 40."

  • "avoid alcoholic beverages;

  • "spend at least 2 hours a day in an air-conditioned or cool location;

  • "take at least one cool shower or bath per day, or cool your skin several times per day with wet towels;
