Tuesday saw the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops, dating back to the 1800s, while Penticton's all-time record was set Monday.
Hitting a high of 45.7 C, Kelowna shattered it's previous all-time heat record on Tuesday. Temperatures are recorded at the UBC Okanagan weather station, and records date back to 1899. The previous all-time record hadn't stood for long, as it was set Monday when the thermometer hit 42.9 C.
Prior to this current heat wave, the all-time high in Kelowna came in 1998, when temperatures hit 41 C.
Vernon also set its all-time heat record Tuesday, at 44.2 C. Prior to this heat wave, the Vernon record had stood for 113 years, set back in 1908 when it hit 40 C.
And temperatures got even hotter in Kamloops Tuesday, hitting an all-time record of 47.3 C. Prior to this week, the all-time record had stood since 1941, when temperatures reached 41.7 C. Kamloops' records date back to 1890.
And while Penticton only hit 41.3 C on Tuesday, the city set an all-time high of 42.5 C on Monday, beating out the prior record of 40.6 C set in 1941. Records have been kept in Penticton since 1907.
Meanwhile, Lytton was the hottest place in Canada ever recorded on Tuesday, at 49.6 C. The small village has set an all-time Canadian high for three days in a row.
Prior to this heat wave, Kelowna's Tuesday temperatures would have been the highest ever recorded in the country, as the previous record, 45 C, was set in 1937 in Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada meteorologist Nan Lu says we may have seen the end of record-breaking temperatures for now, but a heat warning remains in effect across much of the province.
“Today the temperature is just a tad a cooler than yesterday,” Lu said. “The forecasted high for the Kelowna and South Thompson regions is 42 to 44 C.”
Lu added that there is a possibility of thunderstorms across the region later this afternoon at high elevations.
