\u201cIt\u2019s certainly not a good day to move and make physical effort,\u201d Environment Canada meteorologist Marianne Pelletier said, \u201cbut I understand that when everything is booked, you don\u2019t have the choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
July 1, when many leases begin, marks Quebec\u2019s traditional Moving Day, which this year is likely to be a sweaty \u2014 and potentially dangerous \u2014 endeavour.<\/p>\n
Heat exhaustion is possible amid soaring temperatures, Environment and Climate Change Canada warns. Headaches, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue are possible symptoms.<\/p>\n
Heat stroke, which manifests in red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change of consciousness, requires medical intervention, the weather agency says. In such situations, Environment Canada advises calling 911 or an emergency health provider.<\/p>\n
If moving Wednesday, \u201ctaking breaks, drinking a lot of water, staying as much as possible in the shade, in air-conditioned spaces is certainly recommended,\u201d Pelletier said.<\/p>\n
A forecast storm Wednesday evening should provide some relief from the heat, Pelletier said, but will likely come after temperatures have peaked.<\/p>\n
The heat wave is expected to last until Saturday morning, she said.<\/p>\n
The heat warning is in place till Saturday.<\/p>\n
This report will be updated.<\/p>\n
