BC Heatwave Shatters Records

British Columbia’s sweltering summer just got official — record-breaking heat is sweeping the province, with 21 locations tying or shattering daily highs Tuesday alone. Squamish smashed its 2021 record with 34.1°C, Powell River obliterated its 1926 mark at 31.6°C, and Duncan soared past its 1940 record by 2°C. From Vancouver Island to the Fraser Valley, cities like Victoria, Tofino, Abbotsford, and Hope all hit new thermal milestones. Environment Canada warns the heat will linger Wednesday, but relief is on the horizon: cooler temps and rain are forecast for Friday, with storms possible in central and northern BC. Stay hydrated, stay cool — this scorcher won’t last forever. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
