Environment Canada has lifted special weather statements about a record-breaking hot spell for much of the province, including Metro Vancouver and Victoria.
But it says the “early season heat event” will persist in the southwestern Interior and western Kootenay regions, with temperatures in the low to mid-30s.
Environment Canada says the elevated temperatures brought by a ridge of high pressure will last in those areas until Thursday.
In the North Thompson and 100 Mile House, the weather office says hot conditions will likely persist even longer, with a “gradual cooling trend” expected to come later in the week.
Five more daily temperature records were broken Tuesday and, for the fourth day in a row, B.C. was the hottest spot in Canada, with Lytton hitting 36.2 C.
Locations that unseated previous temperature records on Tuesday included Castlegar, Cranbrook, Nelson, Sparwood and Trail, after 27 records were broken on Sunday and Monday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2025.
