Another day, another set of temp records broken in BC

For the sixth time in a row, a series of temperature records have been broken across British Columbia.

But this time there weren’t so many to note.

Environment Canada said the following areas recorded new temperature records on Thursday:

• Bella Bella: New record of 22.4ºC; old record of 22.1 set in 2013

• Clearwater: New record of 35.7ºC; old record of 34.7ºC set in 2017

• Clinton: New record of 32.8ºC; old record of 32.5ºC set in 2009

• Fort St John: New record of 31.1ºC; old record of 30.6ºC set in 1935

• Puntzi Mountain: New record of 33.5ºC; old record of 31.4ºC set in 2023

• Sandspit: New record of 22.8ºC; old record of 21.4ºC set in 1998

Despite the slightly cooler weather in the province on Thursday, some areas remain under a heat warning issued earlier this week by Environment Canada.

Fraser Canyon, the North Coast and South Thompson are all covered by the warning.
