The spring heat 'set the stage' for a hot B.C. summer, say forecasters.
From British Columbia to Newfoundland, vast stretches of Canada are forecast to receive hotter than normal temperatures this summer.
In a statement, the department warned Canadians to monitor weather forecasts and take weather alerts seriously ahead of what's expected to be a hot and potentially dangerous summer. It also called on people across the country to “get prepared” for weather-related events and develop an emergency plan now.
“Travellers are advised to exercise caution and drive at reduced speeds when encountering slippery road conditions and water pooling,” noted the statement. The cooler, wetter weather hitting many parts of B.C. is expected to give way to a high-pressure system by the weekend. That will bring clear skies and hotter temperatures before another low-pressure system drops temperatures again.“We have strong confidence that it’s going to be warmer than average,” Lang said.
The centre said flood risk from snowmelt has largely disappeared and many peak flows are “rapidly declining.”
