Hey there, time traveller!

VICTORIA – Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for the inland regions of British Columbia’s north coast, saying there is a moderate risk to public health.
It says daytime temperatures are expected to be near 30 degrees Celsius with overnight lows in the mid-teens.
The weather office says the elevated temperatures are expected to persist until Tuesday night, returning to seasonal values on Wednesday.
It says health risks are higher for seniors, people who live alone and those with pre-existing conditions including diabetes, heart disease and respiratory diseases.
Environment Canada is encouraging family and friends to check on those who are at higher risk, noting people with mental illness, substance-use disorders and those with limited mobility may also be more vulnerable.
It suggests people watch for the impacts of heat illness, including heavy sweating, rashes, cramps or fainting, and that they take steps to keep their house cool.
