It’s going to be another hot, sunny week in B.C.’s Southern Interior.

From the Shuswap to the South Okanagan, Environment Canada is calling for temperatures in the low 30s on Tuesday that will rise to 35 C on Wednesday and Thursday.

In addition, the national weather agency has issued a heat warning for the Central and South Okanagan, saying daytime highs could reach 35 to 40 C, along with overnight lows in the high teens.

“A strong ridge of high pressure will bring a short-lived heat wave to British Columbia,” said Environment Canada.

“High temperatures once again return to Southern Interior with daytime highs 35 to 40 C and overnight lows near 18 C over Fraser Canyon, South Thompson, Central and South Okanagan.

“Unsettled weather and cooler temperatures are forecast beginning Friday as a series of disturbances cross the region.”
