Hot Weather Here!

PRINCE GEORGE – Prince George could be breaking some hot weather records this weekend and Northern Health wants to take the time to remind people too much of a good thing can be bad for you. 

“When it’s going to be hot for days on end, it’s a good idea to try to keep cool,” says Dr. Rakel Kling, Medical Health Officer. “Make sure you’re drinking lots of water. It’s very important. Seek shade if you’re outside. Or even try to find an air-conditioned  building, like a library or a mall or a movie theatre.”

But if you enjoy being outside, wear a hat and plenty of sunscreen.

“There’s a time when you’ve been out in the heat for too long. When you start to feel dizzy or get a headache, nausea, you’ve had too much sun,” said Dr. Kling.
