After a brief, but much needed, shift to rain, the blazing temperatures are set to return to the northcoast beginning tonight.
Environment Canada has declared a new extreme heat warning, covering inland sections of the North and Central Coasts, including Terrace, Kitimat, and Bella Coola.
Temperatures are expected to hit the low 30s between tomorrow and Friday, and only drop into the mid-teens overnight.
With temperatures that high, the risk of heat-related illnesses is elevated, especially for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses.
Residents are advised to get plenty of water, avoid alcohol and strenuous activities, and to prepare a heat plan with locations to cool down both in the home and community.
