The calendar may say September but according to mother nature, it’s still going to feel like the middle of summer this long weekend.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement in effect for Greater Victoria as temperatures continue to climb, rising into the low 30s by Labour Day.

As the kids head back to school Tuesday, expect low quality air as smoke reaches the coast from wildfires still burning throughout the province.

The unseasonably warm weather is due to a strong ridge of high pressure over B.C.
