Heat warnings issued in southern Manitoba
- On May 11, 2025, Environment Canada issued Extreme Heat Warnings for parts of southern Manitoba, including Winnipeg, due to expected daytime highs in the mid-30s Celsius and overnight lows near 16°C.
- The warnings follow a ridge of high pressure over the Prairies causing sustained hot and humid conditions, which are expected to persist through Wednesday with little relief.
- Health officials advise limiting strenuous outdoor activities and watching for early heat exhaustion signs such as headache, nausea, and intense fatigue amid worsening air quality from wildfires.
- Winnipeg could reach 36°C on Monday, approaching the May record high of 37.8°C set in 1934, while the city has deployed water tanks and opened cooling spaces to support residents.
- The heat and poor air quality pose elevated health risks, especially for vulnerable groups, prompting continued warnings and recommendations to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exposure until cooler weather arrives.
