After Thursday’s record high temperatures, it seems as that trend has and will continue up to today.
Yesterday (September 6th), Williams Lake reached a high of 30.5 degrees, and was the only city that ended up breaking their daily high of 28.2 set in 2017.
Meteorologist, Philippe-Alain Bergeron says Quesnel didn’t quite reach a record.
“In Quesnel it’s slightly different, of course it was very warm, 29.7 was the high in Quesnel.” says Bergeron.
“The warmest ever on September 6th was 32.2 in 1934, so it was two and a half degrees hotter than yesterday, so no record broken, but close.”
Bergeron says we’ll still be eight degrees above normal, reaching 28 degrees across the region, with Williams Lake’s record at exactly 28 in 1981, and Quesnel at 30.7 that same year.
He says its still possible both city’s could break their respective temperatures, with Quesnel being less likely of course.
While Sunday will see similar temperatures, the region will see a big shift starting Monday returning to seasonal temperatures of 20.
Bergeron noted that the end of next week could see more cloud roll through, but temperatures will remain similar between 19 and 21 degrees.
