A heat wave which has been impacting sections of the province all week is not expected to let up this weekend.
Environment Canada is maintaining an extreme heat warning issued for inland sections of the north and central coasts earlier this week.
In Terrace, Kitimat, and Bella Coola, temperatures are expected to hit the low 30s during the day, and only drop to the mid-teens overnight.
While temperatures were initially predicted to let up today, the warning has now bee extended through early next week.
With temperatures this 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.
