Much of Vancouver Island remains under a heat warning as temperatures are expected to reach the mid-30s this week.
Daytime temperatures in the inland regions of the island are projected to reach 35 degrees through to Thursday.
In Greater Victoria, eastern Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands, daytime highs are forecasted to reach 34 degrees through to Wednesday before falling back to seasonal norms. The Ministry of Emergency Management says a repeat of the 2021 heat dome, which claimed more than 600 lives, is not in the forecast but the ministry is warning people to take precautions to stay out of the heat, drink water and limit physical activity.
If you suspect your body is overheating, Henderson advises people to take action right away. The warning signs include heavy sweating, increased heart rate and headache.
