For some British Columbians, above seasonal daytime temperatures and elevated overnight lows will mean little relief from heat.
Parts of British Columbia are once again under a heat warning as sweltering temperatures make a return.
From now until Wednesday night, temperatures in the Central Coast and North Coast could reach daytime highs above 28 C with overnight lows nearing 13 C. In the Fraser Canyon, including Lytton, daytime highs will hover near 35 C. Temperatures there are expected to fall back to seasonal norms by the weekend. People in these areas are reminded to drink plenty of water and stay in a cool place.
During the July 26 to Aug. 3 heat wave, the BC Coroners Service says 16 people died from heat-related illness. The worst day for fatalities was July 29, with five deaths recorded.
