Surviving the Heat Dome | Winnipeg News
Description
A deadly heat dome is baking southern Ontario, Quebec, and the eastern U.S., pushing temps into the 30s and 40s — with experts warning it could be as dangerous as Europe’s recent heatwaves. Without air conditioning, fans can help — but only until temps hit 38°C, after which they may worsen things. Wetting your skin creates evaporative cooling that works even without sweating, and fans can boost it. Stay hydrated with water and electrolytes — skip alcohol. Heat also affects mood and meds, and vulnerable groups like kids and seniors are at highest risk. Don’t forget: nights stay hot too — no cooldown means cumulative heat stress. Check on loved ones and watch for warning signs like dizziness or nausea.
