12 Heat Records Broken Across B.C.

Twelve communities in British Columbia set new daily high temperature records due to a high-pressure ridge, with Lytton reaching 40 C, Environment Canada reported.

  • On Tuesday, multiple British Columbia communities broke daily high temperature records, marking a second straight day with records falling across a dozen communities.
  • Environment Canada said a ridge of high pressure anchored over the southern Interior, raising temperatures and creating a 'moderate risk' to public health, while wildfire smoke produced advisories over 13 Interior and northeast areas and haze over Metro Vancouver.
  • Cache Creek recorded 39.3 C, Princeton soared to 38.8 C and Smithers beat a 51-year-old record by reaching 30.8 C on Tuesday.
  • Heat warnings remain in place for nine areas of B.C., including Fraser Canyon, and are expected to end by Thursday for the southern Interior and by Friday for inland north and central coast, with smoke advisories persisting until Friday.
  • Lillooet, B.C., broke a 91-year-old daily temperature record, while aerial images from Aug. 29, 2025, show rebuilt houses in Lytton, B.C., after 90 per cent destruction in 2021.
