Squamish was one among several municipalities in BC that broke daily maximum temperature records on Sunday with sweltering hot weather.

A strong ridge of high pressure pushed into southern BC on Sunday, with several stations across the province breaking daily maximum temperature records.

The Squamish area set a record at 33.9 C for the daily maximum since Environment Canada started keeping records in 1960. The old record was 33.2 C in 2008.

Lytton Area was the hottest in the province with a new record of 41.2 C. Records have been kept for Lytton since 1921. The old record for Lytton for 40.4 C was set in 2008.

Other hotspots in the Province that shattered records were the Cache Creek Area at 39.8 C, Merritt area at 38 C, Penticton at 36.5 C, and Summerland at 36.8 C.

In the Lower Mainland, West Vancouver recorded a new high of 33.4 C, while White Rock recorded a temperature high of 31 C.

The next few days will be a mix of sun and clouds, with rain starting on Thursday.
