Hotter and slightly more humid ahead of potential weekend storms
Heat and humidity returned to South Attleboro and Nova Scotia this week, with Environment Canada warning temperatures will exceed 30 degrees Celsius across most of the province for the coming days.
Compression on the backside of the Bermuda high creates a southwesterly circulation, preventing cooling onshore winds and trapping intense humidity in coastal areas throughout the week.
Meteorologist Cindy Day warns that 'feels like' temperatures could reach 38 degrees Celsius due to humidity, and residents should monitor for heat exhaustion symptoms including dizziness, nausea, and intense fatigue.
Friday and Saturday bring heightened storm potential locally, with strong weather systems possibly producing damaging winds and torrential rain as the atmosphere holds significant moisture from the heat and humidity.
Experts advise staying hydrated, seeking shade, and using cooling centers to manage the heat, as forecasts indicate warm and humid conditions could persist until early next week.
