Environment Canada has issued heat and air quality warnings for much of British Columbia as extreme temperatures further fuel wildfires in the region. While Lytton recorded the province's highest temperature of 40.5 degrees, the thermometer in Cache Creek reached 39.1 degrees, breaking the record from two years ago.
Heat warnings cover approximately two-thirds of the province, including Metro Vancouver, and no relief is expected until Thursday. Temperatures are not expected to drop significantly even during the nighttime hours, while smoke from wildfires is reducing visibility and lowering air quality across the province.
Officials state that the smoky conditions will persist for at least the next 24 to 48 hours. Air quality is reported to be particularly low in the northern Peace and Fort Nelson regions, with Fort Nelson also facing severe thunderstorm warnings. Meanwhile, daily temperature records have also been broken in areas such as Sechelt, Smithers, and Terrace.
