Heat Warning
3:34 a.m. PDT Friday 29 August 2025

Heat Warning in effect for:
  • South Thompson
This is a heat warning. Temperatures are very high and there is a moderate risk to public health.

What: Temperatures reaching near 35 degrees Celsius combined with overnight lows near 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.

When: Today

Where: Fraser Canyon and South Thompson.

Remarks: A ridge of high pressure anchored over B.C. is bringing very high temperatures to the region this week. Today, temperatures are expected to decline slightly, though daytime highs will continue to be near mid 30s.

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.

Check on family, friends and neighbours, who are at higher risk, particularly if they live alone, to make sure they have a cool space.

Watch for the effects of heat illness: heavy sweating, rash, cramps, fainting, high body temperature and the worsening of some health conditions.

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.
