Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for Chatham-Kent for Wednesday through Friday.
Temperatures are expected to reach into the 30s, with high humidity.
CK Public Health urges people to take care when exposed to the weather for prolonged periods.
In high temperatures and humidity, your body may not be able to cool properly which can lead to heat-related illness, including heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Those at highest risk include older adults, infants and children, people with chronic illnesses, those who are physically impaired, and people taking medications that affect heat sensitivity. Healthy people can be at risk if they participate in strenuous activities and do not take precautions,” according to municipal officials.
Municipal libraries and Hope Haven on Wellington Street in Chatham are open during the day as cooling stations.
