Absolutely absurd temperatures forecast, afraid some all-time temperature records are in jeopardy in British Columbia and Pacific Northwest. City emergency management officials: time to enact the extreme heat procedures and plans. Cooling centres, check on vulnerable etc. #BCHeat 
This part of the world isn’t accustomed to these temperatures: take Abbotsford as an example, perhaps 3 consecutive days at or above all-time readings.
Unfortunately it’s going to be extraordinarily humid - a rarity for the South Coast. All time humidex records possible feeling near 40 even for some coastal communities #BCHeat
The problem is there’s no relief at night. Some locations will hover in the 20’s for lows, it’s this sustained heat and lack of relief that hurts the vulnerable.
Just turn on the A/C? Although more common in Interior, 60% of homes in British Columbia do not have air conditioners.
To see model guidance spit out ridge heights at the 500 mb level approaching 600 dm. Impacts far reaching including the Yukon and N.W.T.
