Town of Cobourg reminds residents who require temporary respite from the heat
to visit Municipal Cooling Centres

Cobourg, ON (July 4, 2023) – The Town of Cobourg would like to advise all residents that that a heat warning is in effect for Cobourg and Northumberland County.

Environment Canada is forecasting hot, humid weather, with daytime temperatures July 4 and 5 to reach 27° (feels like low to mid 30’s) and evening temperatures to stay above 20°. The Town of Cobourg is advising residents to take precautions to protect themselves from heat-related illnesses. Heat-related illnesses such as dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke can be very dangerous, especially to those most vulnerable to health risks including people who work outdoors, people who are unhoused, elderly and some people with disabilities or chronic diseases, people who are pregnant, and children and infants.

The Town of Cobourg would like to advise all residents, that those who require temporary respite from the heat are welcome to attend one of the following municipal cooling centres.

To help reduce your risk of heat-related illness during extreme heat warnings, the HKPR District Health Unit advises the following:

Tips to Staying Cool Indoors
During an extreme heat warning staying indoors can limit direct sun exposure, but it can also cause potential health risks if indoor temperatures get too warm. Stay cool indoors by covering windows and using a fan to circulate air, keep lights off or low, avoid using the oven or hot appliances, take a cool bath or shower and turn on air conditioning, if available.

Tips to Staying Cool Outdoors
During an extreme heat warning it may not be possible for some people to remain indoors or access air-conditioned spaces. Stay cool outdoors by avoiding direct sunlight by staying in the shade, reducing physical activity and outdoor sports, wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing and a wide-brimmed hat, and monitor yourself and others for signs of heat-related illness.

During extreme weather events, residents are remined to visit neighbours, friends, and older family members to ensure their wellbeing.
