Montreal weather: Pleasant summer day makes way for another loathsome heat warning
Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Thursday into Friday for greater Montreal and the Montérégie and Lanaudière regions. Wednesday's forecast calls for sunny skies, a high of 27 Celsius, a humidex value of 29, a UV index of 9, or very high, and a low of 19. Thursday's forecast calls for sunny skies with a high of 33, a humidex of 40, a UV index of 9 and winds out of the southwest at 20 km/h gusting to 40 in the morning. Thursday night will see a low of low 22 and a 70 per cent chance of showers. On Thursday, 'the combination of high temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and high humidity levels will give humidex values near 40 during the day,' Environment Canada said. 'The overnight period will be uncomfortable with lows exceeding 20 degrees Celsius.' The federal weather agency recommends checking in on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people multiple times a day. Montrealers should also be on the lookout for early signs of heat exhaustion, including headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, intense fatigue and dark urine. During intense heat, it's recommended to drink water often, close blinds and shades, turn on air conditioning or use a fan, and move to the coolest space in your home.

That's the message the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg is spreading this week as it offers free water safety resources for both new and comfortable swimmers at its four locations in Winnipeg. 'Drowning is so, so preventable. Swimming is a life skill,' said Finn McLandress, aquatics director at the downtown location at 301 Vaughan St. Swim instructors will be available during drop-in swim times to answer questions and help any adult or child who has basic swim skills. Displays at each location entrance will have pamphlets and kids colouring sheets that list tips on how to avoid drowning. Matthew Frank has more here.
