The hot August weather continues!
On August 17th, a high of 27.9°C was recorded at Gonzales Point, the second hottest since records began in 1940.
This record beat out the previous highest temperature of 27.8°C recorded in 1922. However, the hottest temperature ever recorded there was 30.6°C in 1940.
That is hot!
Earlier this week, Environment Canada issued a heat warning for Courtenay to Campbell River, Duncan to Nanaimo and Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay.
While warnings have not been issued for Greater Victoria, the forecast will see a return to hot weather with temperatures reaching 27°C before dropping to 20°C on Friday.
To help the public get through the heat, municipalities set up cooling stations to help residents keep comfortable.
So remember to stay cool while enjoying the heat!
