Record-breaking temperatures making life tough for outdoor workers in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — It is HOT outside. Like record-breaking hot. That’s perfect if you’re able to go spend your day down at the beach at Riverside Park. However, for the folks who have to work outside, temperatures like the ones we’re facing can be dangerous.
“This is the beginning of Hell week,” Carrie Campbell, who works with Latina Landscapes, says. “It’s hot already — 10:30 am, 30 degrees — and only getting hotter.”
When temperatures crack the 40-degree mark, as they have been lately, it can significantly shorten the workday for folks who have to do so outdoors.
