A record breaking heatwave in Western Canada has led to a spike in deaths.
Officials have reported more than 230 in British Columbia since Friday.
The heatwave is also affecting parts of the Pacific Northwest of the US, particularly Portland, in Oregon.
Meanwhile, the Police in Vancouver have dealt with 65 sudden deaths since Friday.
Temperatures have hit over 47 degrees Celsius over the past few days.
Officials are urging people to check in on elderly and vulnerable neighbours.
So that's to make sure they have enough water.
Energy Engineering Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir says it's been decades since such high temperatures have been recorded in Canada
"The highest temperature reported previously was in 1937, when it was 45 degrees Celsius."
"So this is phenomenal."
"This isn't just Canada too, it's affecting the Northern states along the Western seaboard too."
"It's hitting parts of the Eastern seaboard of the States too."
"Both the US and Canada have warned citizens of dangerous heat levels, which could persist and are persisting throughout this week."
