Health Canada says with the inclusion of the Humidex temperatures over the next couple of days could feel like they have climbed into the 40°C to 45°C range, and that’s nasty. My kid’s school does not run AC, except in the Administration office on the main floor. My youngest whom is located of the top most floor of the 100 year old brick building has no AC, and windows that don’t open more than a few inches. She is going to melt. It will feel like torture to put her up there for seven hour days in this upcoming heat. I need to buy ice, and send them with additional frozen water bottles or something. That type of sustained heat is dangerous, even for short spells, let alone several continuous days of it. Ugh.
I hope that they can rotate the kids through a cooling station, or misters, or a room full of fans every so often because it’s going to get ugly — fast. Or I keep them home with me and give these temperatures a miss. We will see how Sunday goes. If it’s unbearable today before the real threat sinks in, I might just have to pull them out of school for Mon/Tues. We will see.
Glad we completed all of the birthday party preparation yesterday while the weather was milder. Now we just have to wait for the big day. Oh, and get a cake, order the pizzas, get a whole bunch of juice boxes together, napkins, plates, forks etc… almost there. Nearly done.
