Image Credit: SUBMITTED/Mackenzie Berry July 01, 2021 - 2:34 PM Public Health authorities are warning about smoke from multiple wildfires across the province and Kamloops residents are reporting the skies are especially smoky in the city. Regions including the Thompson-Okanagan will likely be impacted by wildfire smoke over the next 24-48 hours, according to a bulletin from Public Health. Several large wildfires are burning in the region. The largest, at 20,000 hectares, is currently burning 14 kilometres from Kamloops Lake. Larger fires in the west and northwest of the Interior are generating smoke which will likely make its way into the Thompson-Okanagan region tomorrow through Saturday, said Environment Canada meteorologist Alysa Pederson.

You might want to stay indoors next to the air conditioner if you can later this week.
According to Environment Canada, the community will experience temperatures above 30 from Monday to Thursday.
This isn’t unique to Fort McMurray as a shift in the jet stream has created a ‘big dome of hot air’ above Alberta and British Columbia.
Meteorologist Alysa Pederson tells Mix News this isn’t entirely uncommon for the area.
“As we’re currently forecasting, we’re only sitting at four days above 30. The longest stretch we’ve had above 30 was actually just in 2015 where there were six days in a row.”
