Environment Canada has extended its heat warning for parts of Vancouver Island on Thursday.
High temperatures are expected to remain over East and Inland Vancouver Island until Thursday night before cooler temperatures arrive Friday and through the weekend.
The weather office says daytime highs of 29 C to 34 C are expected for Inland Vancouver Island, as well as a range of communities on East Vancouver Island – including Duncan to Nanaimo, Courtenay to Campbell River and Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay."A ridge of high pressure and a warmer airmass will give another hot day today," said Environment Canada in an update Thursday morning.
Residents should watch for symptoms of heat illness, such as exhaustion, swelling, cramps, fainting, heat stroke or the worsening of existing health conditions."The risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors."
