The forecast shows it'll be as hot as 26 C on Friday and 24 C on Saturday.
"Wearing sunscreen is definitely in your benefit because a lot of us haven't seen too much of the sun, certainly not when it's higher up in the sky, which it's starting to really do now," Environment Canada meteorologist Armel Castellan told CBC News Tuesday.
The weather this weekend will be about 12 C warmer than average this time of year, kicking off the spring melt in the Interior, Castellan said.
Avalanche Canada is warning of "elevated avalanche dangers" as temperatures rise.
But Castellan said temperatures will drop again starting Sunday, with the forecast showing 14 C and rain that day.

According to Castellan, Metro Vancouver residents should expect slightly cool temperatures and normal rainfall levels for the month of May.
