Toronto under heat alert, humidex advisory

TORONTO, Ont. - Toronto's Medical Officer of Health has issued a heat alert, which will be in effect until further notice.

Members of the public are encouraged to stay cool, drink lots of fluids and call or visit family and friends, especially those at highest risk of suffering from a heat-related illness.

Also affecting the GTA and much of cottage country is a humidex advisory. Although Saturday's high is 30 C, temperatures with the humidex rating are expected to reach the low 40s.

Those most at risk include seniors, people with chronic or pre-existing health problems, infants and young children and the homeless.

The City of Toronto has several tips for the public to beat the heat. It is recommended that you do things like drink water or juice before you feel thirsty and go to air conditioned places like shopping malls or local libraries and community centres,

The city also recommends you wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing, stay out of the sun and reduce strenuous outdoor physical activity, especially during peak heat hours.

As always, people are reminded not to leave children, the elderly or pets inside hot vehicles.

就是今天突然热起来了， 超过30 度， 估计周日也会热一点。 周一就凉快了。
多伦多气温超过30度就要发高温警报了。 不过这有多热呢？ 晚上睡觉不用凉席，不用开电扇。  所以这的一般的高温警报和国内不在一个水平上。
加拿大公共建筑对舒适度有要求，所以全部有空调，但apartment 没有， 要自己装窗式空调。

30度以上就高温警报啊？想想我这里夏天38度以上的好多天，不知道离了空调怎么活了
