Relief en route as summer heatwave winding down for Nanaimo region
NANAIMO — Mid-Island residents who haven’t bought an air conditioner yet might be wondering when there will be some relief from the heat.
Environment Canada meteorologist Derek Lee said a move in the pattern to more seasonal conditions is coming soon.
“The heat is going to last until this weekend, at least into Sunday (July 31) from what we can see. By Monday and Tuesday, they’ll be a shift in the weather where we will get more clouds from the Pacific back in, so with more clouds in the area the temperatures will begin to decrease.”
The long-term forecast in Nanaimo is calling for highs in the low 20’s after the B.C. Day long weekend, which is more in line with the seasonal average for this time of year.
