Is it even that hot though or are they just not used to 26 Degree heat?

The North Pacific is may experience 46c this year so...it's not just 26c

This is not a situation to be taken lightly. In some places of BC, the temperature is over 45. Yeah, Canada is known for winters, but let’s not get stereotypical. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/mobile/the-air-is-like-fire-b-c-village-breaks-canada-s-all-time-heat-record-for-3rd-day-in-a-row-1.5490844

I didn't say it should be taken lightly. I looked at BC'd weather and it said the current forecast was 26 Degrees, which isn't that hot. Perhaps that was wrong?

I am sorry to hear.

I guess AC isn't a thing there since it usually already cold?

 

Please stay hydrated, y'all. Drink water!!

I thought ppl nowadays understood better how seasons work. Canada is not cold all year. We have hot ass humid summers too

 

Also i have AC but it doesnt mean im not exposed to heat. For example i work in an industrial shop setting. Some ppl work outside etc

 

Just because ppl have AC doesnt mean ppl wont be in settings they cant get heat stroke :shrug:

In Canada a landlord has to make sure there is heating available for tenants, but not cooling of any kind. I can see them making a new law as temperatures continue to rise every year.

I also assu.e most of these deaths were probably from people who were outdoors, either homeless people, people exercising or walking to/from work and elderly people.

Or work... many ppl forget most of us who work in blue collar jobs not office or retail put up with heat at work often

 

Fortunately my company is looking to install AC which will be amazing but usually we dont get AC in these types of jobs cuz the cost to cool large industrial settings is very high

They dont understand how seasons work lol

 

In each hemisphere the temperature gap is wide in winter by latitude but that gap shrinks considerably in summer months since the suns focus angle is way above equator.

 

Just because its 20C colder on Toronto Canada than in Texas in the winter doesnt mean the same is true in summer. The gap is a lot smaller and we still get very hot days @RAMROD

Sorry. Again, I was going by what the weather that Google told me for BC. It said 26 when I checked, thats all. Think that was for Vancouver, not sure
