Above seasonal temperatures prompts special weather statement for East Vancouver Island

High temperatures across Eastern and Inland Vancouver Island have prompted Environment Canada to issue a warning about heat exposure. 

A special weather statement is in place from Campbell River to Duncan for above seasonal temperatures until Thursday when a cloud cover is expected. 

Cooler temperatures overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning will provide some relief from the heat. 

They’re recommending you reschedule outdoor activities to mornings or evenings when temperatures are cooler, watch for signs of heat illness, and never leave children or pets inside a parked vehicle. 

If signs of heat illness do occur, you can seek a cool place like a tree-shaded area, misting station, or an air-conditioned space like a building to cool off.
