VANCOUVER — Environment Canada says a heat wave that now covers more than 40 regions in British Columbia is intensifying, reaching its peak in some locations.
It says elevated temperatures pose a risk to public health, so people are encouraged to take precautions to minimize exposure.
Most regions of the province are expected to see temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, while the southern Interior may see temperatures that push into the low 40s this week. Among them was Metro Vancouver, which is expected to have daytime temperatures reaching up to the mid-30s inland, and the high 20s near the water.
