It was another warm day across the province and 24 daily temperature records were broken.
Although October is here and cooler temperatures are expected, Environment Canada explains that a ridge of high pressure is causing the warmer fall days.
On Sunday, temperature records were broken in communities ranging from the coast to the interior.
Vernon broke a nearly 120-year-old daily record that was set in 1904.
Clearwater was a close contender and broke a 99-year-old record while Kelowna broke a record et in 1932.
Agassiz, Esquimalt and another four locations in Victoria broke records set in 1935.
Many of the daily temperatures were only broken by a degree or two with the biggest margin being recorded in Malahat, northwest of Victoria. The new record of 24.8ºC beat the record of 22ºC set in 1987.
