Did you find it hot in Vancouver yesterday?
Okay, that might be a rhetorical question, because the city saw sweltering humidity through most of the day.
But Vancouver wasn't the only toasty city in B.C.
Environment Canada reports that B.C. smashed a whopping 15 weather records on Wednesday (June 2) with several areas surpassing the previous records by a couple of degrees.
While the City of Vancouver didn't break its record, temperatures felt over 31 C inland with humidity. Similarly, Thursday's forecast calls for a high of 22 C on the water and 25 C inland. However, temperatures will feel more like 25 C and 27 C with humidity.
Things are expected to cool off this weekend, with the forecast calling for the chance of showers every day.
