VANCOUVER – Heat records have tumbled again in British Columbia, with Metro Vancouver breaking marks set 120 years ago, ahead of the arrival of much cooler conditions.
Environment Canada says both Vancouver at 27.7 degrees and Richmond at 28 degrees broke records set in 1906 by a full degree or more on Wednesday.
But there’s been a sharp drop in temperatures across parts of the province, with both Vancouver and Richmond only forecast to reach 21 degrees on Thursday.
Other communities setting new daily high temperature records on Wednesday included Squamish at 32.6 degrees, Duncan at 32.4 degrees, and Chetwynd at 28.9 degrees.
Victoria meanwhile matched its previous high of 30 degrees, last recorded in 1925.
On Tuesday, 21 B.C. communities reported reaching or surpassing all-time daily heat records, although cooler temperatures are in the forecast for the rest of the week.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2026.
