In British Columbia, temperatures in the province’s southern Interior are forecast to climb into the low 40s. Armel Castellan, another meteorologist with Environment Canada, said B.C. is "definitely seeing its warmest temperatures over the next couple of days." He said the weather office is now working with the BC Wildfire Service and it will meet with emergency management officials in the province to prepare for the risks.
"This warm spell is likely to linger into next week, particularly across southern B.C. and the Prairie provinces, though it's a bit early to offer a high confidence forecast this far into the future," she said.
