Heat warnings in place as sweltering week predicted for much of B.C.
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued heat warnings for much of the B.C. Interior, with forecasts calling for a ridge of high pressure that will bring elevated temperatures during the middle of the week. Warnings for the Okanagan Valley, Fraser Canyon, South Thompson, Boundary and West Kootenay say that maximum temperatures are expected to hit between 35 C and 37 C between Tuesday and Thursday. Meanwhile, the North Thompson, Cariboo, Prince George and Stuart-Nechako areas are expected to see temperatures between 29 C and 34 C, with overnight lows of around 14 C. Matt Loney, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said that the heat will peak on Wednesday and Thursday for most areas. "We have a ridge of high pressure building in the upper atmosphere, and with a southerly flow that's going to feed in some warmer air from the south, from the United States," he told CBC News. "And so temperatures are going to build as we head into the midweek portion." Loney said that elevated temperatures would also be seen in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, but those areas will see temperatures 3 to 5 C above seasonal. In much of the Interior, however, the temperatures are forecast to be 5 to 8 C above historical norms. Loney advised anyone in areas under a heat warning to limit outdoor activities, keep hydrated and check on neighbours who may not be equipped to deal with the heat. "We can kind of see the end of this with the upper ridge that's going to break down Thursday night into Friday," the meteorologist said. "And so we'll see an influx of moisture, and potential for some thunderstorms, actually coming in with the end of this." Loney said that the long-range forecasts for the upcoming B.C. Day-long weekend were unclear, but it's likely to be cloudier as an upper trough will be parked over the province. The B.C. Wildfire Service said in a provincial situation report that above seasonal temperatures will be seen throughout B.C. this week, with the hottest areas set to be in the southern third of the province. "In addition, there is a significant chance of dry lightning that could impact nearly all regions of the province throughout the week," the service says. "This combination of rising temperatures, fuel drying and dry lightning increases the probability of new wildfires starting." However, the report says winds are expected to remain light throughout the province.

NWS: Indianapolis temperatures could feel as high as 107 degrees as week begins
A heat advisory is in effect for Indianapolis until 8 p.m. on July 29. Heat indices will spike as high as 107 degrees on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Overnight temperatures will provide little relief from the sweltering daytime heat, dipping only into the mid-70s. "That's even almost just as dangerous as the hot temperatures, especially for those vulnerable populations without adequate AC," said National Weather Service meteorologist Cody Moore. Moore suggested limiting time outside, wearing light-colored clothing and using a cooling center during the day if needed. "This is above average for this time of year, but we expect this. It's July, this is not anything out of the ordinary," Moore said. Humidity increases in part at this time of year because of the phenomenon of "corn sweat," he added. Isolated thunderstorms will provide some temporary relief amidst the sweltering weather on July 28 and July 29. But as the sun comes back out in the afternoons, the residual moisture from those storms will make the air feel very humid. A flood warning is in effect for Marion County until 11:15 a.m. on July 28. The heat wave should break on July 30, when a storm system will move into the area and knock temperatures down to more tolerable levels for at least a few days. On July 31, the high temperature will be a modest 78 degrees. Indianapolis weather forecast ☀️/⛈️ Monday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before noon.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Check on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly and those without access to air conditioning. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. If possible, delay outdoor chores until the evening hours. When working outside, wear light, loose-fitting clothing. Take frequent breaks in the shade or an air-conditioned room. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you or someone you know experiences signs of heat stroke, call 911 and take immediate action to cool off the person until help arrives. Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle. Bring pets indoors and ensure they have plenty of water to drink. The city said pets are not to be outside unsupervised when the temperature is higher than 90 degrees or a heat advisory is in effect. Consider carrying an umbrella for immediate shade while outside. Dial 211 or 866-211-9966 to reach Indiana 211 for non-emergency resources. Check the National Weather Service for more heat safety information. Ryan Murphy is the communities reporter for IndyStar.

Sunny weather returns to most of Queensland, but cool conditions to come
Queenslanders will enjoy a brief reprieve from rainy conditions before a cloud band moves in mid-week and brings wintry weather to most of the state. Senior meteorologist Shane Kennedy said cooler, clear conditions were expected from Monday, but would not last. A trough in the south-west corner of the state is forecast to reach the coast by Wednesday, bringing widespread cloud cover. "A couple of frosty mornings, then we will get a bit of a break on Wednesday and Thursday as the cloud comes over, then back to even cooler conditions later in the week behind that trough," Mr Kennedy said. Widespread rainfall between 10 and 30 millimetres was recorded between Emerald and the south-east corner over the weekend. Mr Kennedy said south-east Queensland residents could expect clearer, cooler days at the beginning of the week, with isolated minor river flooding around Warwick and Amberley expected to clear. "It will drop back down to average, or slightly below, over the next couple of mornings, as far north as Hughenden," he said. Temperatures in western Queensland would return to average, he said, following the cold snap over the weekend that saw temperatures plummet. Julia Creek and Richmond in western Queensland recorded their coldest July days in two years, reaching just 16 degrees Celsius on Saturday afternoon. "It was a strong enough system that it had that impact," Mr Kennedy said. Mr Kennedy said the next cold snap would arrive later this week, off the back of another cloud band originating in the south-west. "The next cooler snap should push a fair way into northern Queensland, at least to the base of the Cape York Peninsula on Friday and Saturday," he said. This would help to bring temperatures down to average in the state's north. "The next cold snap after that next trough should be more substantial," he said. "It potentially might make it up to Georgetown, and it may even help to drop temperatures around Cairns on Friday and Saturday."
