(Charlie Riedel/Associated Press)Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued heat warnings for northern and central Saskatchewan, warning of daytime temperatures near 30 C over the weekend.Major communities like Prince Albert, the Battlefords and Lloydminster are all expected to be affected. The warning extends across the province from just north of Saskatoon and Humboldt to the border with the Northwest Territories.Daytime temperatures are expected to decline to the mid-20s by early next week.An air quality warning was also issued for northern Saskatchewan on Saturday morning, with wildfire smoke expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility across the region. Environment Canada is encouraging people to watch for early signs of heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness and intense fatigue. The most immediate way to resolve symptoms is to drink water and slow down physical activity, especially outdoors.Heat stroke carries many of the same symptoms as heat exhaustion, in addition to red and hot skin, confusion and loss of consciousness. Heat strokes require emergency medical help and should be treated by a health-care provider immediately.In terms of cooler indoor environments, Environment Canada recommends closing blinds or shades to reduce sunlight, turning on air conditioning and using a fan. Public spaces like cooling centres or community centres are also available to ease heat stress.
