Environment Canada is urging residents to take precautions, which includes drinking water frequently, even before feeling thirsty, and limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day.
'Limit direct exposure to sunlight and heat,' the statement reads. 'Never leave people, especially children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. Check the vehicle before locking it to make sure no one is still inside.'
The special statement applies to the island of Montreal and other areas across southern Quebec.
The heat is expected to ease by midweek.
