As those who spent the BC Day Long weekend in Terrace can attest, the temperatures were hot and climbing through the weekend and for those that have stayed behind for a few extra days of Sun, the heat will remain on.
The last few days have seen the Terrace/Kitimat region facing temperatures of 28 and above, with much the same expected for a few more days.
The Skeena Valley region has been in the midst of a Heat Warning now into its third day, with Environment Canada posting the warning to their website.
