Parts of Nova Scotia are set to feel some heat over the next two days.

Annapolis, Kings, Lunenburg and Queens counties have been issued heat warnings on Tuesday. Environment Canada says residents can expect daytime highs of 30 C inland in these areas for Tuesday and Wednesday and a minimum temperature of 16 C overnight.

“Heat warnings are issued when very high temperature or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion,” said Environment Canada.

Temperatures should be cooler along parts of the coast.

The warning urges residents to check on older adults and those living alone, and to call 911 if signs of heat stroke are observed.

The heat is forecast to subside Wednesday afternoon.
