People’s lives have been severely affected by the extreme hot weather in Canada. There have also been reports of deaths due to high temperature level.
High temperatures in Canada and the western United States are caused by high-pressure hot air from California to the Arctic.
Experts say climate change could lead to this kind extreme weather. Previously, the temperature in Canada had never exceeded 45 C. This is considered to be the hottest weather ever experienced in Canada.
Canadian authorities said high temperatures could rise abnormally for the rest of the week. Thermal warnings are also in effect in many areas.
Sudden deaths were also reported in some areas. In Vancouver, about 65 people have died unexpectedly from the extreme heat since Friday. It has been announced that the number of deaths due to high temperatures is likely to increase further.
Meanwhile, the heat has become uncontrollable and wildfires are spreading rapidly. As a result, people have to be evacuated from those areas. Also, several states canceled schools this week.
The people of the country have been informed to take care of the family members who are at risk due to underlying health conditions or elderly due to the current situation.
