It’s day four of the heat wave which has smothered parts of the island with sultry conditions not conducive to a good night’s sleep. Yesterday was a record breaker in St. John’s with the temperature hitting 30 degrees for the first time in almost a decade.
It was the first time since 2013 that St. John’s reached 30.3 degrees. Records were also set in Badger, the hot spot for the province, where it got up to 32 degrees. Gander, Bonavista, Twillingate and the Burin Peninsula also set records.70 to 100 km southwest of Gander, and is heavily concentrated near the surface. Barney says smoke is expected to gradually disperse as temperatures rise and winds increase during the day.
Meanwhile, the province’s Chief Medical Examiner is warning the public about the dangers of extreme heat. He says children, the elderly and those living with cardiovascular or respiratory diseases are more likely to suffer serious side effects from heat.
