Could feel like almost 40 C in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick as heat wave hits region | Globalnews.ca

Environment Canada has issued heat warnings across New Brunswick, where “a period of very warm and humid weather is expected.”

The forecaster said the maximum temperature Thursday and Friday will be 29 to 32 C, with humidex levels at 36 to 39 C.

Cooler conditions can be expected along parts of the coast, it said.

New Brunswickers should reduce their heat risk by scheduling outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day, and by never leaving people or pets in a parked vehicle, Environment Canada said.

In Nova Scotia, no heat warnings have been issued but temperatures are expected to climb over the next few days.

In the Halifax region, Thursday will see a high of 28 C, with the humidex at 37. Friday is expected to climb to 31 — with humidex levels also at 37 — and Saturday is expected to be 29 C.

The heat comes after weeks of unseasonably rainy weather in the Maritimes.
