This week's forecast is predicting a blue, cloudless sky across B.C. with an omnipresent sun holding the skin-roasting average hovering near 30 C.
To remedy the warm weather, we've helped you find the best waterparks in B.C. so you can soak up the Vitamin D without turning too pink.
Topping the list is B.C.'s largest waterpark, Cultus Lake Waterpark. Paired with an adventure park, the duo can bring a healthy dose of chill and thrill into your weekend.
Boasting 11 slides that that will send you skipping across the landing pool or sloshing around in a tube there's a variety of choices to slide-seekers on top of their rivers, hot tubs and tot zones.
On July 20 and Aug. 17, the park will also be hosting a Nightslide Concert featuring bands Swamp Honey, Pleasant Trees and Ezra Kwizera in July and North Country Gentlemen, and Terrance Richard in August to serenade your sliding.

On top of the hot, new attraction, the park provides nine summer-essential slides with a couple of kids' splash pads to keep the younglings busy all day.
With events going on all through July and August, it's always a good time to go. For information on admission rates, click here.
