High temperatures and wildfire smoke have forced Environment Canada to re-issue multiple weather alerts for the Cariboo and Northern B.C. regions.

Kamloops, Ashcroft, Lytton, and west to nearly Pemberton have been issued both a heat warning, while Clinton to 108 Mile Ranch has both a heat warning and a special air quality statement.

In those areas, temperatures are expected to reach the mid-30s during the day with an overnight low of 14 C. The warmer temperatures are expected to continue throughout Thursday.
