VANCOUVER — Heat warnings across parts of southern British Columbia and Vancouver Island over the weekend have been expanded to Metro Vancouver.

Environment Canada said Monday that a heat warning is active for both Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley for at least two days, with temperatures possibly reaching 33 C.

The temperature is not expected to drop below 17 C overnight, and the weather agency says the warnings are expected to persist until Wednesday.

"A ridge of high pressure is bringing elevated temperatures to the South Coast," the heat warning for Metro Vancouver says. "Due to strong northwesterly winds over the Strait of Georgia, areas near the water will likely get a reprieve from the heat, but away from the water, daytime temperatures will reach the low 30s."

Environment Canada had issued warnings Saturday for regions including the Fraser Canyon, South Thompson, South Okanagan, Howe Sound, Whistler, Pemberton and inland and eastern Vancouver Island.

Those warnings have also been extended through Tuesday, with the temperature expected to reach 35 C in Fraser Canyon, South Thompson and South Okanagan.

Daily daytime high records were broken in several communities Sunday, with Nanaimo hitting 34.2 C, breaking a record set in 1981, while Sechelt's 31.6 C displaced a record from 2014.

Updated Summary: "Beat the Heat Dome – Stay Safe & Cool This Summer"

While the current Heat Wave isn’t quite Mad Max territory, it still brings serious health risks—especially for the elderly and pets, who are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures. Here are key tips to stay cool and safe during the sweltering summer:

Hydration is essential: Dehydration can lead to headaches, heat stroke, and more. Older adults may be less likely to feel thirsty, so encourage regular drinking. Provide water, juicy fruits, and electrolyte drinks. Use visual reminders like urine color charts to monitor hydration.

Heat waves can strain electrical grids and cause blackouts. Have a plan to stay cool if the power goes out, especially for seniors and pets who are more sensitive to heat and may suffer faster from heat exhaustion.
Know heat safety: Heat Safety Tool app and review tips for handling high temperatures. Even indoor spaces can become dangerously hot without AC.

Don’t shame sweating: Sweating is the body’s natural cooling system. Stock bathrooms with body wipes and spray deodorant to help everyone stay fresh.

Protect pets: Pets can easily overheat. Keep air conditioning on, leave out fresh water, and limit walks to shady areas or cooler times of day. Pets with thick coats or health issues are especially at risk.
Bottom line: Keep heat safety top-of-mind this summer. Staying hydrated, planning ahead, and caring for our most vulnerable—seniors and pets—can help everyone beat the Heat Dome.
