The Canadian Red Cross says extreme heat can affect everyone. Young children, the elderly, those with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, and those taking certain medications can become ill in hot, humid weather faster than healthy adults.

It says to prevent a heat-related illness, you should drink plenty of cool fluids and avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day.

Wearing light, loose clothing allows the air to circulate around your skin while also allowing the heat to escape your body.

If you are outside, always wear a hot and reduce your exposure to the sun as much as possible. Taking a break in a cool shady area will help your body to cool off.
