More temperature records were broken across British Columbia on Thursday.
The record-breaking trend has been alive and well all week when it comes to B.C. weather and Thursday was no different, although on a smaller scale.
Another 18 new records were set on Thursday, adding to the 122 that were broken between Monday and Wednesday.
The oldest record broken was in Prince Rupert, where the high of 18.0°C beat the previous record of 17.8°C set in 1915.
In the village of Masset, which is located on the Haida Gwaii Islands, the record of 13.3°C set all the way back in 1906 was tied on Thursday.
Powell River’s previous record from 1968 was broken, as was Clinton’s old record set in 2010, but the rest of the shattered marks were all set in the 1990s.
