For its part, the Commission for Environmental Cooperation in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta and some areas of Saskatchewan, Yukon, and areas of the northwest have issued heat alerts.

The commission mentioned, "A long wave of dangerous and unprecedented heat will continue throughout the week," adding that "the temperature will reach about 40 degrees in some areas in the middle of the week," that is, ten to 15 degrees above the normal rate.

Canada's Senior Climatologist, David Phillips, explained, “in some areas in western Canada, the temperature will be higher than it is in Dubai.”

Shops have run out of air conditioners and fans, while centers have been set up in cities to get free drinks and avoid the heat.
