Environment Canada says unseasonably hot weather in British Columbia’s Okanagan, Thompson and Boundary regions will push temperatures into the mid-30s this weekend.

The forecaster issued heat warnings Friday covering portions of the province’s Interior, saying the hot weather was expected to persist through Sunday.

    I heard from friends the whole area broke some records this week, over 38 all over the place.

    I wonder how long we see 50+. 5 years?

      50 C would take a lot of roasting to get to; we’re pretty far north and there’s a lot of vegetation. It might be a couple decades. With the heat domes hitting Texas, they’re still just peeking at 45 C in non-desert areas, but low 40s would be devastating up here, and we could see that in the next 10 years.
