October is here and with that comes cooler nights and darker mornings.
However, nine daily temperature records were broken on the first day of the month.
Environment Canada explains that a ridge of high pressure is causing the warmer fall temperatures for parts of the province.
Those locations range from the interior to the coast with Clearwater, north of Kamloops, breaking a nearly 100 year old temperature record that was set in 1923.
Hope and Port Alberni also broke daily records from 1987.
