Environment Canada has issued a warning for the first truly hot stretch of summer for much of the province of British Columbia.
According to him, from now until Monday, temperatures may rise to the middle of 30 C in some regions.
A special meteorological declaration for the heat has been issued for most of the province.
It says that although daily highs may exceed season averages, nighttime temperatures are expected to fall to teenagers in most regions.
Environment Canada urges people to watch out for heat-related illnesses.
With temperatures arriving from low to mid-30 C, the River Forecasting Center says it is uncertain how conditions could affect snowmelt and raise river levels, but warns that unstable weather is forecast for next week and thunderstorms, which will lead to additional flood risks.
Environment Canada says increased runoff flows are “likely”.
Severe thunderstorm warning
A severe thunderstorm warning is in force for Fort Nelson, while other areas in the northeast corner of the province are under close surveillance for thunderstorms.
Environment Canada says meteorologists are tracking a group of strong thunderstorms, capable of causing very strong gusts of wind, to hail the size of nickel and heavy rain.
Environment Canada says temperatures are expected to return to near-normal levels by the middle of next week as cooler, unsettled air mass pushes the land out.
