Temperatures in the 30 degree range expected for the week

It’s going to be a hot week across the prairies as temperatures reach the 30-degree mark.

Environment Canada warns Lloydminster and surrounding areas that temperatures are going to reach 29 degrees or higher until at least Friday. Daytime highs are expected to sit in the low to mid-30’s for the week.

Alberta Health Services says when a heat warning is in effect people should consider rescheduling outdoor activities until cooler temperatures prevail, as well as drinking plenty of water and wearing a hat and sunglasses. They also say to apply sunscreen that has at least a 30 sun protection factor 20 minutes before heading outside.

In addition to taking precautions, people should monitor the symptoms of a heat stroke, which are high body temperature, lack of sweat, disorientation, fainting and unconsciousness.
