Hot weather is arriving in the Fraser Valley, just in time for Canada Day
CHILLIWACK — With temperatures climbing across the Fraser Valley, Fraser Health is reminding residents to stay cool and look out for those at higher risk of heat-related illness.
Environment Canada is forecasting daytime highs in the upper 20s through Canada Day, with humidex values potentially reaching into the 30s. Overnight lows are expected to remain in the mid-teens, offering limited relief from the daytime heat.
Fraser Health says these conditions—especially this early in the summer—can lead to serious health issues such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
The health authority is urging people to check in regularly with those who are most vulnerable, including seniors, individuals who live alone, and people with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or respiratory issues.
