The BC government is encouraging people to take precautions as Environment Canada forecasts the return of unseasonably hot temperatures this week.

A statement from the Ministry of Health urges people to follow guidelines for staying cool during ``extreme heat'' that's predicted to last until this weekend.

Health Minister Adrian Dix says health authorities and B-C Emergency Health Services are preparing to assist people in need during the latest heat wave.

Heat in the mid to high 30s is expected with the highest temperatures slated for Thompson-Okanagan, the southern Kootenays and Fraser Canyon, all areas where numerous wildfires continue to burn.
