Heat warning issued for Kamloops and area with humidity values expected to rise

Jul 15, 2026 | 11:42 AM

KAMLOOPS — A heat warning is in effect for multiple regions in the Kamloops area. 

From Wednesday (July 15) through to Thursday, Environment Canada says daytime high temperatures will reach the mid-30s C while overnight lows will sit in the high teens in the South Thompson, Shuswap and Fraser Canyon regions. 

The weather agency notes that a southerly flow will bring more moisture into the Kamloops area, increasing humidity values. 

While heat affects everyone, Environment Canada notes the risks are greater for seniors and people: 

  • who live alone 
  • with pre-existing health conditions 
  • with mental illness 
  • with substance use disorders 
  • with limited mobility

“Check on family, friends and neighbours who are at higher risk, particularly if they live alone, to make sure they have a cool space,” Environment Canada states. 

Residents are encouraged to drink water regularly, even before they feel thirsty, and never leave vulnerable people, children or pets inside a parked vehicle.
