Hot spell persists in southern B.C. after breaking century-old records
An early season hot spell that has brought temperatures approaching 40 C to parts of southern British Columbia, breaking more than a dozen daily heat records, won't be lifting until at least Tuesday. Temperatures peaked at 39.3 C in Lytton, B.C., on Sunday, making it the hottest spot in the country and breaking a daily record set two years ago. Also among the 15 daily records set Sunday were temperatures of 31.7 C in Nanaimo and 32.3 C in Pitt Meadows, both breaking high marks set in 1903. Special weather statements remain in effect for the southwest and northeast due to the heat, which Environment Canada says can feel worse because people aren't acclimatized to higher temperatures at this point in the year. The weather agency says the "early season heat event" will last into the week in Howe Sound, Whistler, Pemberton and inland Vancouver Island, as well as Interior areas. However, the agency says temperatures are set to cool on Tuesday elsewhere in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island. Daily high temperatures are expected to remain in the high 20s to low 30s in coastal areas, reaching into the mid-to-high 30s inland.

Multiple heat records broken across B.C. on Sunday
People try and beat the heat by enjoying the river in Lynn Valley in North Vancouver, B.C. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. (Jonathan Hayward/THE CANADIAN PRESS) Regions of British Columbia experienced the hottest June 8 on record this weekend, with some parts of the province shattering heat records over 70 years old. Twelve daily heat records were broken on Sunday, as the early season summer weather saw temperatures reaching as high as the mid to high 30s in some parts of the province. According to Environment Canada, Williams Lake, Whistler, Squamish, Princeton, Pitt Meadows, Pemberton, Lytton, Kamloops, Clinton and Abbotsford all broke the 30 C mark, with Lytton reaching temperatures of 39 C and Pemberton recording highs of 36 C. Abbotsford recorded temperatures of 31 C, marking the hottest June 8 in the city since 30 C was reached in 1955. The temperature in Pitt Meadows was so unseasonably warm at 31 C it broke a record over a hundred years old, with the heat rising a degree higher than its previous record in 1903. Environment Canada issued a warning Friday of an 'early season heat event' that would bring a sharp spike in temperatures to much of southern B.C. Over 20 special weather statements were made throughout the province. The weather agency forecasts the sizzling temperatures to continue throughout Monday, before the week peters off into cooler territory. 'High temperatures will persist into the week in Howe Sound, Whistler and Pemberton, and inland regions of Vancouver Island,' Environment Canada said in an update Monday. 'Temperatures will cool on Tuesday elsewhere in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island.'
