“I just wanted to hang out at the beach, trying to stay hydrated, get a lot of electrolytes in,” he said. Public health officials are encouraging everyone in the heat zone to drink plenty of water and be on alert for early signs of heat exhaustion. Overnight lows were forecasted to stay between 22 to 25 C, with the humidex above 30 degrees , until the expected mid-week cool down..
