Service Notice – April 2025: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2025, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into Colour-Coded Weather Alerts is planned for deployment for later in 2025. Data changes will appear in CAP-CP upon this deployment, and 2) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – avril 2025: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2025, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes sous forme d'alertes météorologiques codées par couleur est prévue d’être déployée plus tard en 2025.

Description

This is an Early Season Heat Event. What: A period of elevated temperatures will persist. When: Today and tonight. Where: The southwestern interior of BC and the western parts of the Kootenay District. Remarks: A ridge of high pressure continues to bring high temperatures to the region. Daytime high temperatures in the low to mid-30's and overnight lows in the mid teens are expected. A gradual cooling trend will come later in the week. Early season heat can be significant due to the lack of acclimatization to elevated temperatures. Keep your house cool. Block the sun by closing curtains or blinds. Watch for the effects of heat illness: heavy sweating, rash, cramps, fainting, high body temperature and the worsening of some health conditions. Fans alone cannot effectively lower core body temperature, especially for older adults. Use fans to pull in cooler air from outdoors, but if you or someone you care for is experiencing symptoms of heat illness, find a cooler space. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.
