VANCOUVER – The recent spike in temperatures across British Columbia has once again caused daily heat records to fall in several communities in the waning days of summer.
Environment Canada says the high temperature record in 10 communities was either breached or tied on Wednesday, including Kamloops which hit more than 34 degrees.
That shatters the old mark for Sept. 17 of 32.2 degrees, reported in 1937.
Records were also broken in Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Salmon Arm and Cache Creek, among other communities.
The BC Wildfire Service says the short stretch of hot weather has triggered a small rebound in the number of active fires in the province, with about 128 burning as of this morning.
The service says seven new fires were started in the last 24 hours versus five declared out, adding that the southern Interior will remain warm today despite cooler conditions in the coastal regions.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 18, 2025.
