Areas impacted include East Vancouver Island from Duncan to Campbell River and Inland Vancouver Island.
The province has not declared an extreme heat emergency for these regions.
With elevated temperatures, the risk of heat-related illness increases. Everyone is at risk of heat-related illness, but hot temperatures can be especially dangerous for seniors (ages 65 years or older); infants and young children; pregnant people; people with chronic health conditions and mental illnesses; people who work outdoors; and people who live alone or are socially isolated, homeless, or unsheltered.
More details about extreme heat, including symptoms of heat-related illness and those most at risk, are available on the Island Health heat safety webpage.
