Heat Warning In Effect

Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Chatham-Kent and all of South western Ontario, and it is easy to understand why.

With high temperatures and even higher humidex readings expected the heat advisory is in effect through the holiday Monday.

Symptoms of heat related illness may include rapid breathing, dizziness or even fainting, and extreme thirst.

We all know the warning signs, and The Chatham-Kent Health Unit warns anyone can feel the effects but especially the elderly and very young.

Stay inside. wear light clothing, and drink plenty of fluids, especially water.

And don’t leave your pets in the car.
