Southern B.C. Set to Bake Under ‘Early Season Heat Event’
- Environment Canada warned on Saturday, June 7, 2025, of an early season heat event affecting much of southern British Columbia into early next week.
- The heat wave is caused by an area of elevated atmospheric pressure, leading to dry, hot conditions with temperatures reaching the low 30s along the coast and the mid-30s further inland.
- Environment Canada issued numerous weather alerts as temperatures are expected to peak Sunday and Monday, with some locations in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley nearing 30°C, while Osoyoos may reach highs of 36 to 37°C.
- Environment Canada recommended staying alert for signs of heat-related illness and emphasized that using fans by themselves may not sufficiently reduce body heat, while the SPCA cautioned against leaving pets in hot cars due to the serious dangers involved.
- Temperatures are forecast to cool starting Tuesday, suggesting a temporary relief, but the early heat signals a need for preparedness as more extreme heat might occur later in the summer.
