Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at 9:49AM A ridge of high pressure is building over B.C. this week and appears to be strengthening into early next week. It will bring an extended period of hot and dry weather.
• The areas most likely to reach Heat Warning criteria are the Central and Southwestern Interior, South Coast, and inland sections of the North and Central Coasts.
• There is a chance of marginally reaching criteria this week; however, a greater likelihood early next week. It is yet uncertain how high temperatures may climb next week.
• Generally, daytime high temperatures are expected to reach the mid to high 30s in the Southwestern Interior, and high 20s or low 30s along parts of the Coast and Central Interior.
• Overnight lows are expected to be in the mid to high teens.
• It is yet unclear how long the heat may persist.
• Several weather models indicate a weak upper level disturbance moving through Washington State on Friday (July 22) which could limit temperatures for southern B.C. and may produce thunderstorms and associated lightning.

Monday, July 18, 2022 at 10:45AM Please avoid the Lawrence Valley Loop Trail below the Fire Hall as there is an enormous nest in blackberry bushes right by the trail and the inhabitants are very aggressive.
Lynda Poirier has offered to take care of it - for which we are so grateful - and we'll let you know when it's once again safe to travel on the trail.

Sunday, July 17, 2022 at 11:42AM On 2 different occasions people have been stung and chased by aggressive bees or wasps on the community trail near the grassland on the firehall side. I’ll try and find the nest.
Best to avoid this area until it’s removed
