PRINCE GEORGE – A heat wave is on the way for much of BC, here in the Central Interior day time highs are expected to hit over 20 degrees beginning tomorrow, compared to the daily average of 15.

Bobby Sekhon with Environment Canada points to a high pressure ridge which will deliver hot and dry conditions to many parts of the province until Sunday at least. He warns those spending any time outside to put on sunscreen and to stay hydrated.

In the meantime, there will be a partial category 2 fire prohibition taking effect Wednesday in the Prince George and Omenica Districts of the Prince George Fire Centre.

“The reason we are putting out this prohibition is because of the predicted hot and dry weather coming this weekend, as well there have been 32 wildfires in our fire centre and all 32 of these fires have been human caused which means they are 100 percent preventable, ” said Molly Blower with the Prince George Fire Centre.
