Officials say ‘be prepared’ as temperatures peak in large parts of B.C.
The Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness said temperatures will peak this weekend in the Interior and Peace regions of the province and asked British Columbians to prepare themselves for above-seasonal temperatures.
Heat warnings may expand to other regions, the ministry said, adding that current forecasts do not include an extreme heat emergency. June 2023 was just over 0.5 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average, smashing the previous record of June 2019. Temperatures have remained above seasonal for the early days of July.
For British Columbia, El Niño conditions have historically led to milder winters, but records also show hotter summers because of El Niño, now unfolding against the backdrop of climate change.
