Canada says unseasonably hot weather in British Columbia’s Okanagan, Thompson, and Boundary regions will push temperatures into the mid 30s into the weekend.
The agency says daytime temperatures are expected to reach 38 Celsius in the Boundary region, while temperatures in the south and central Okanagan, south and north Thompson, and Fraser Canyon regions will reach up to 36 Celsius. WorkSafeBC says the warnings should be a wake-up call to employers as it’s been dealing with increasing claims related to heat from people who work indoors, and it’s reminding employers that they need to take steps to protect their workers.
