Another heat warning for P.E.I., but cooler temperatures on the way
CBC
P.E.I. is under a heat warning again Thursday, with temperatures expected to reach 31 C. The good news: cooler temperatures are on the way.
"There is relief today along the coast [with highs of only 22 C in places] and with the showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for this afternoon," said CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin.
Temperatures will fall to 19 C tonight and climb to a relatively cool 23 C Friday. Seasonal temperatures for this time of year are normally about 20 C.
Environment Canada issues a heat warning when forecast temperatures climb above 28 C and do not fall below 18 C overnight — or when humidex values feel like 36 C for two days.
Days where the temperature reaches 30 C are unusual on P.E.I., but they are becoming more common. From 1960 to 2010, Charlottetown averaged one day a year that hot. In the last six years, the average has been close to three.
Environment Canada's warning, which is in place for the entire Island, offers tips on how to deal with the heat:
