Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of Vancouver Island for a long duration of above seasonal temperatures.<\/p>\n

The special weather statement has been issued for East<\/a> and Inland<\/a> Vancouver Island until mid-week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, cooler temperatures overnight will give some relief from the heat,\u201d Environment Canada says in the statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe very warm conditions are expected to persist until Thursday when cloud cover is expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

People are advised to consider rescheduling outdoor activities to the morning or evening hours when temperatures will be cooler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch for the effects of heat illness: heavy sweating, rash, cramps, fainting, high body temperature and the worsening of some health conditions,\u201d the statement says.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever leave susceptible people, particularly children, or pets inside a parked vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

People in overheated areas are advised to seek a cool place like a tree-shaded area, splash pad, misting station, or air-conditioned spot like a public building.<\/p>\n
