After a cool, wet start to the summer in Manitoba, forecasted heat may be welcomed by some, but for others, it can pose a significant risk.
After a cool, wet start to the summer, the heat may be welcomed by some, but for others, it can pose a significant risk.“In wintertime, I suffered from hypothermia and frostbite in every conceivable place. But in the summertime, it was even worse because, you know, I suffered from heatstroke, which nearly killed me,” he said.
“We’re looking at things like sunburn, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and dehydration. Those are very extreme and potentially dangerous situations for people.” “Winnipeggers can go utilize these stations to access clean drinking water when they need. So they’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he said.“For this heat season, we’ve got six community centres that are signed up to serve as cooling spaces. So if any Winnipeggers are in those areas, there’s a place where you can go into those facilities, just to take a break from the extreme heat,” he said.
Despite some of the supports available, Wiebe said it’s important for Winnipeggers to look out for those exposed to the heat.
