NANAIMO — An unusual late-August heat wave is persisting for a little white yet.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement on Monday, Aug. 25, advising of a “long duration of above seasonal temperatures” for parts of Vancouver Island’s east coast.
Forecasts call for daytime highs of 30 degrees Celsius in Nanaimo both Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 27, while Parksville is projected to top out in the high 20s.
“Temperatures will continue to remain well above seasonal into mid- week for East and Inland Vancouver Island. However, cooler temperatures overnight will give some relief from the heat,” the advisory reads. “The very warm conditions are expected to persist until Thursday when cloud cover is expected.”
