Detailed Description |
4:23 PM PDT Thursday 1 August 2024 Heat Warning in effect for: 100 Mile An extended period of hot temperatures is expected. Where: North Thompson and 100 Mile. When: Now until the end of Monday. Remarks: A strong ridge of high pressure is building over the region. This will cause daytime highs to reach the low to mid thirties. Overnight lows are expected to be in the mid teens. The above average heat is expected to persist until the end of the weekend at which time the ridge will break down and temperatures will cool. Heat affects everyone, but the risks are greater for: seniors, people who live alone, people with pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or respiratory disease, people with mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression, or anxiety, people with substance use disorders, people with limited mobility.

Never leave susceptible people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. If you are in an overheated area, seek a cool place such as a tree-shaded area, splash pad, misting station, or air-conditioned spot like a public building.
