Hey there, time traveller!

VANCOUVER – Temperatures are forecast to remain high in parts of southern British Columbia until mid-week after Sunday saw century-old heat records tumble.
Environment Canada says the province’s “early season heat event” will last into the week in Howe Sound, Whistler, Pemberton, and inland Vancouver Island, as well as Interior areas.
There are 34 special weather statements in place for southern B.C., with daily high temperatures expected to remain in the high 20s to low 30s in some coastal areas Tuesday, reaching into the mid-to-high 30s inland.
However, temperatures are set to subside Tuesday in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island.
The mercury hit 36.7 Celsius in Osoyoos Monday afternoon, making it the hottest place in Canada, a day after 15 daily records were set in B.C.
Sunday saw temperatures reach 31.7 C in Nanaimo and 32.3 C in Pitt Meadows, both breaking high marks set in 1903, while the national hot spot was Lytton, reaching 39.3 C to break a daily record set two years ago.
