22 daily temperature records broken in British Columbia due to heat wave, posing moderate health risk.

22 daily temperature records in British Columbia have been broken as a heat wave pushes temperatures over 40°C in some areas. Environment Canada has issued over 40 heat warnings for the province and warns that the high temperatures pose a "moderate risk" to public health, particularly for seniors, people who live alone, and those with pre-existing conditions. The heat wave, caused by a high-pressure ridge, is expected to persist until mid-week.
