* WHAT...Hot conditions with high temperatures in the mid 80s to lower 90s and low temperatures near 60 degrees. This will pose a moderate risk of heat-related illness. * WHERE...Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca, Foothills and Valleys of the North Cascades, Lake Crescent Area Including US 101, Lowlands of Western Skagit and Northwestern Snohomish Counties, Lowlands of Western Whatcom County, Northern Hood Canal, and Port Townsend Area. * WHEN...From 10 AM this morning to 11 PM PDT Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Heat will significantly increase the risk of heat-related illnesses for those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Areas closest to the water will experience cooler daytime high temperatures.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1. For sheltering information and other human services in your area, dial 2 1 1 during business hours or visit wa211.org anytime.

(July 20, 2026) Metro Vancouver Regional District has issued a yellow air quality warning for the Eastern Fraser Valley due to elevated fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Where: Fraser Valley Eastern - Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope Cause: Smoke from wildfires in British Columbia, including the Brunswick Complex near Boston Bar and wildfires in the southern Interior. Smoke levels can change quickly with weather and fire behaviour. What you can do: • Check in on others who may be more affected. People at higher risk include those with lung, heart or other chronic conditions, pregnant people, infants, children, older adults, and outdoor workers. • Improve indoor air quality. Use portable HEPA air cleaners or do-it-yourself box fan air cleaners. If your home has a built-in ventilation system, install filters rated MERV 13 or higher to remove smoke. If possible, adjust the ventilation system to reduce smoke coming indoors. • Keep windows and doors closed while running air filtration. If it’s hot, focus on staying cool. • Spend time in places with air conditioning if your home is smoky or too hot. Try community centres, libraries, or malls. • Seek medical help if you experience severe symptoms such as wheezing, chest pain, trouble breathing or severe cough. Call 911 in emergencies. • Manage chronic conditions and carry rescue medications with you (e.g. inhalers). • If you must be outside, a well-fitted N95, KN95, or KF94 mask offers the most protection. Medical masks offer some protection and single layer coverings (e.g. bandanas, scarfs, shirts) offer none. • Check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) often throughout the day because conditions can change quickly. See airmap.ca or gov.bc.ca/airqualitymap. • Sign up for air quality alerts at metrovancouver.org/aqalerts. ### Visit http://www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values.

(July 21 2026) Metro Vancouver Regional District has issued a yellow air quality warning due to elevated ground-level ozone (smog) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Conditions may last until there is a change in the weather. Cause: Hot and sunny weather and the presence of wildfire smoke has increased ground-level ozone (smog) concentrations in Northeast/Southeast Metro Vancouver and Central/Eastern Fraser Valley. Smoke from wildfires in British Columbia, including the Brunswick Complex near Boston Bar and wildfires in the southern Interior, have increased fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in the Eastern Fraser Valley. Smoke levels can change quickly with weather and fire behaviour. Yellow Air Quality Warning in Effect (High Health Risk) Limit outdoor activity. Reduce activity duration and intensity. Where: Metro Vancouver Northeast – Tri-Cities, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge (ground-level ozone) Southeast – Surrey, Langley, White Rock (ground-level ozone) Fraser Valley Central – Abbotsford, Mission (ground-level ozone) Eastern – Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope (ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter) What you can do: Check in on others who may be more affected. People at higher risk include those with lung, heart or other chronic conditions, pregnant people, infants, children, older adults, and outdoor workers. Improve indoor air quality. Use portable HEPA air cleaners or do-it-yourself box fan air cleaners. If your home has a built-in ventilation system, install filters rated MERV 13 or higher to remove smoke. If possible, adjust the ventilation system to reduce air pollution coming indoors. Keep windows and doors closed while running air filtration. If it’s hot, focus on staying cool. Spend time in places with air conditioning if your home is smoky or too hot. Try community centres, libraries, or malls. Seek medical help if you experience severe symptoms such as wheezing, chest pain, trouble breathing or severe cough. Call 911 in emergencies.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
