Several more daily maximum temperature records were broken around B.C. on Saturday, with some cities seeing temperatures upwards of 30 C, thanks to a ridge of high pressure anchored over the province, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Much of B.C. has fallen back into average spring temperatures Sunday after a summer-like weekend that broke 12 records on Friday, and 19 on Saturday.
Prince George broke a 101-year-old record, hitting 24.5 C to beat its previous record for April 29 set in 1922.
Kamloops was the hottest city in Canada Saturday at 31.6 C. On Friday, Canada’s hotspot was Lytton at 30.1 C.
As of 3:30 p.m. Sunday, the hottest place in Canada is still in B.C.—Osoyoos at 27.3 C.
According to the ECCC forecast, B.C.’s South Coast and Vancouver Island will sit in the high teens to early twenties over the coming week, but the Interior will continue experiencing temperatures as high as 30 C in the days to come.
