A town in British Columbia has set yet another new record for the hottest temperature ever seen in Canada.

According to Environment Canada, Lytton, BC, saw a high of 47.5°C on June 28 — marking a new highest temperature ever recorded across Canada.

Less than 24 hours later, Lytton has again broken the all-time Canadian high temperature record by reaching 47.5C at 4pm. This is a preliminary number as heating may continue for another hour. The official summary of all broken records will be posted later! #bcstorm #Lytton

As for the previous record, well, it didn’t last very long. It was actually set by Lytton, BC, less than 24 hours ago. On June 27, the town recorded a high of 46.6°C.

Before that, the previous record was set on July 5, 1937, when Yellow Grass and Midale, Saskatchewan, reached a simultaneous high of 45.0°C.

“This is a preliminary number as heating may continue for another hour,” says Environment Canada.

Since Friday, most of British Columbia has been under a heat warning as a “dangerous, long-duration” heat wave envelops the province.

The extreme temperatures are being driven by a “heat dome” — a phenomenon usually reserved for the deserts of the southwestern US.

Fifty-four temperature records were broken on Saturday alone, with some areas set to feel like 50°C before the province begins to cool down.
