Drink lots of water

A heat warning remains in effect from both Environment Canada and Toronto's chief medical officer.

Heat warnings are issued when very high temperatures or humid conditions could lead to a greater risk of heat illnesses, such as heatstroke or heat exhaustion.

That risk is greatest for:

Older adults.

Infants and young children.

People with chronic illnesses, such as breathing difficulties.

People who work or exercise in the heat.

Homeless people.

Those without access to air conditioning.

Environment Canada urged Toronto residents to drink plenty of liquid – especially water – before feeling thirsty, which will decrease the risk of dehydration.
