Meteorologist Doug Lundquist said temperatures might be 香蕉视频直播渃ooler香蕉视频直播� compared to the mid to high 40s we were experiencing during the heatwave. However, the forecast from Thursday into the next week is still mid to high 30s during the days, with nighttime temperatures in the high teens, especially in downtown Kelowna.

But he said there have been enough cool nights that Environment Canada felt it could lift the warning. Despite the ongoing high 30s, he said another heat wave event seems unlikely within the next ten days though they may have to reissue the warning for a day or two when temperatures rise.

Part of the forecast is some showers and lightning.

Lundquist added that with wildfires in the province, smoke will eventually affect air quality, which may be a lot for the elderly and young children, coupled with the heat.

He said it香蕉视频直播檚 important to have a strategy for dealing with both the heat and the smoke.
