Then, “Temperatures are expected to return to near-normal values by the middle of next week as a cooler, unsettled airmass pushes onshore,” said Environment Canada.

With the heat warnings and elevated temperatures come an increased risk of heat-related illness and extreme heat affects everyone, said Environment Canada.

In Vancouver, there are cooling stations and misting stations set up where you can seek relief from the heat.

It’s important to stay safe in the heat, keep drinking water even if you don’t feel thirsty, and stay in a cool place.
