| Detailed Description | 4:20 PM PDT Sunday 4 August 2024 Heat Warning in effect for: South Okanagan - including Penticton This is a heat warning. Temperatures are very high and there is a moderate risk to public health. Where: Fraser Canyon, Okanagan Valley, South Thompson, Boundary, West Kootenay. When: Now until Monday morning. Remarks: Beginning Monday, a cooler airmass will moderate temperatures with daytime highs in the low thirties and overnight lows in the high teens.

Watch for early signs of heat illness (feeling unwell, fatigue, thirst, headache, unusually dark urine) as these can rapidly evolve into life-threatening emergencies. Ask a health professional, such as a pharmacist or physician, how medications or health conditions can affect your risk in the heat. Anyone working in the heat should take regularly scheduled breaks in a cool or shaded space. 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.
