Elevated temperatures are expected and there is a moderate risk to public health. Where: Whistler region, Howe Sound and Sunshine Coast. When: Now through Tuesday night. Remarks: A strong ridge of high pressure over the region has ushered in very high temperatures. Daytime high temperatures will be in the low to mid 30''s, except high 30''s near Pemberton.
