Parts of Vancouver Island remain under heat warnings by Environment Canada due to daytime temperatures of up to 35 degrees.
“A strong ridge of high pressure will remain over southern BC through Wednesday,” Environment Canada says on its website. “Well above seasonal daytime temperatures combined with elevated overnight temperatures will mean little relief from the heat. Temperatures are expected to lower a few degrees on Thursday as the ridge begins to break down.
Ensure you have a fan, but do not rely on it for cooling. “Fans can be used to draw cooler late-evening, overnight and early-morning air indoors,” Island Health says. Use an indoor thermometer or thermostat to keep track of the indoor temperature.Make sure to drink plenty of water and other liquids to stay hydrated.
