Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for southern British Columbia, including Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Fraser Canyon, and parts of Vancouver Island, valid through August 12. Temperatures are expected to reach up to 35°C, with some relief near coastal areas due to northwesterly winds. The warning highlights moderate public health risks, especially for vulnerable groups such as seniors and people with pre-existing health conditions. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek cooler spaces, and check on at-risk individuals to prevent heat-related illnesses.
