Bc Weather Temperature Records Were Broken

Wednesday’s heat wave, which hit much of southern British Columbia, broke several temperature records in the province. Environment Canada has issued a series of heat warnings this week, with the mercury expected to soar again on Thursday. “A strong ridge of high pressure is bringing a short-lived heat wave to British Columbia,” Environment Canada said in an advisory. The following areas set daily maximum temperature records on Wednesday. Comox: New record: 31.6 C Previous record set in 1977: 30.4 C Courtney: New record: 31.6 C Previous record set in 1977: 30.4 C Gibson: New record: 31.1 C Previous record in 2012: 30.9 C Lillooet: New record: 38.2 C Previous record set in 1977: 37.8 C Pemberton: New record: 37.0 C Previous record set in 1977: 36.1 C Sechelt: New record: 31.1 C Previous record in 2012: 30.9 C The warm weather will continue until Thursday. Experts say the hottest time of the day will be late afternoon to early evening. Many beaches, lakes and spray parks around Metro Vancouver were busy with families trying to beat the heat Thursday morning. This included Lake Sasamat in Port Moody. “We’ll stay here on the beach until it gets too hot. I don’t think we’re going to be long,” said Susanne Carlson, a Coquitlam mom, as her children played in the water. “I’m happy with 20-something points. So when she gets into her 30s, I’m not too happy,” she said with a laugh. Carlson and her friend Sabine Ciochetti said their priority was keeping their children out of the heat. “Just a little bit more careful, especially with the kids just making sure they stay cool and hydrated and things like that,” Ciochetti said. “We’re here for the beach because it’s going to be hot, so the house was very warm. Spend time in the water,” Ciochetti told CTV News. Health officials warn that extreme heat can adversely affect anyone. However, the risks are greater for young children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, and people who work or exercise outdoors. “Be aware of the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and worsening of certain health conditions,” wrote Environment Canada. During a previous heat wave this summer, 16 British Columbians have died from heat exposure so far this summer. However, temperatures have not reached the highs seen during last year’s heat wave that led to more than 600 deaths. “For the Lower Continent, this is our third hot season of the year and we’ve seen heat warning criteria activated,” said Bobby Sekhon, a meteorologist at Environment Canada. The temperature is expected to drop slightly on Friday. “But next week, we’ll see a gradual rise in temperatures Thursday, Friday. That’s where we’ll probably see our peak in temperatures next week,” Sekhon said. “Whether those temperatures are high enough to get heat warning criteria remains to be seen, but it’s definitely something we’ll be looking at.”
