Environment Canada has warned of an "early season heat event" across much of southern British Columbia starting Saturday and persisting into early next week.

The agency issued more than 30 special weather statements heading into the weekend, saying a ridge of high pressure will bring elevated temperatures that could reach the low 30s on the coast and the mid-30s inland.
