Environment Canada has lifted the heat warning for the Okanagan-Shuswap as the heat dome has passed, but that doesn91裸聊视频檛 mean we91裸聊视频檙e in the clear yet.

Meteorologist Doug Lundquist said temperatures might be 91裸聊视频渃ooler91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淭he showers we91裸聊视频檒l get won91裸聊视频檛 replenish the dryness we91裸聊视频檝e had, but it is a concern as this can start more fires,91裸聊视频� Lundquist said.

This summer is highly unusual, according to Lundquist.

91裸聊视频淭his June was the hottest June we91裸聊视频檝e ever had and with high 40s and lows being 30s, and paired with the sustained length of time; it91裸聊视频檚 very unusual.91裸聊视频�

He added that the most important thing is to keep an eye on the vulnerable during this time as the area remains hot.

91裸聊视频淭he problem is you can still get dehydrated even when it91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频榗ooler91裸聊视频� like this. Sometimes we don91裸聊视频檛 notice we91裸聊视频檙e sweating and it91裸聊视频檚 evaporating because it91裸聊视频檚 not as hot, so keep up with your water intake. Try not to drink alcohol as much.91裸聊视频�

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 it91裸聊视频檚 important to have a strategy for dealing with both the heat and the smoke.

91裸聊视频淵ou may need to keep wearing masks while outdoors just to protect you from smoke. But if you can avoid it altogether, try that option.91裸聊视频�
