As New Brunswick faces a future of increasingly intense and frequent heatwaves, the province’s three largest cities are reminding people how to stay safe and are also looking for new ways to adapt.
Last week, for example, temperatures climbed to between 33 C and 35 C, with the humidex soaring past 40 C. Many areas of the province were under a yellow alert for extreme heat.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada, global warming has led to 2026 being predicted as one of the hottest years on record, and the period between 2026 and 2030 is expected to be the hottest five-year period on record.
