With the heatwave expected to hit Montreal next week, we would like to remind our residents to stay safe and cool with these tips:
- Drink plenty of water before you feel thirsty.
- Spend a few hours each day in an air-conditioned or cool location.
- Take a shower or bath, or cool yourself with a wet towel.
- Reduce physical activity.
- Wear light-colored clothing.
- Keep in touch with your family and friends.
- Close windows, curtains, and blinds when the sun is at its peak.
- Use heat-generating appliances (stove, oven, dryer, television, lights, etc.) as little as possible.
- Avoid consuming alcoholic, caffeinated, or very sugary drinks, as they can cause dehydration.
