Fredericton area residents are being warned to stay cool as New Brunswick's capital city is under a heat advisory for a third day in a row.
The temperature is supposed to hit 34 C on Tuesday, and the humidex could make it feel as high as 39 C, making Fredericton the hottest place in the province.
The city issued a Level 2 heat alert on Tuesday, following Level 1 one alerts issued on Sunday and Monday.
"Heat can cause real health issues, and in more serious cases it can result in death, so the whole issue of that is important," said Wayne Knorr, an official with the city of Fredericton.
Fredericton is just one of four cities in the country issuing heat alerts this summer through a pilot project called the Heat Alert and Response System.
Knorr said the heat alerts are getting valuable information out to the public.
