<p><a href="https://www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/weather/news/Weather/Hot_start_to_the_week_smashes_over_a_dozen_heat_records_in_BC/">Monday</a> saw more than a dozen daily temperature records fall and another 20 were broken on <a href="https://www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/weather/news/Weather/20_more_heat_records_broken_in_BC_on_Tuesday_including_century_old_mark/">Tuesday</a>, but the number is starting to dwindle a bit as the heat wave nears an end.</p>
<p>Just six heat records were broken on Wednesday, while Victoria tied a more-than-century-old mark set all the way back in 1925.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, that wasn’t the oldest record to be matched or broken on Wednesday, as Vancouver and Richmond both eclipsed marks that were set all the way back in 1906.</p>

<p>Today is expected to be the final day of heat before a major shift in the weather on Friday, which is expected to begin a lengthy stretch of cooler and cloudier days.</p>
<p>However, there’s a good chance that no daily temperature records will be set on Thursday.</p>
<p>That’s because June 25 marks the five-year anniversary of the start of the 2021 heat dome that saw not only record-breaking daily temperatures, but record-breaking all-time temperatures.</p>
<p>That included highs in the mid-to-high 40s in communities like Kelowna and Kamloops, and a Canadian record of 49.6°C in Lytton the day before the village was destroyed by a wildfire.</p>
<p>"As we experience the first heat of this summer, we are reminded of the tragic event in 2021 when more than 600 people in our communities died as a result of unprecedented extreme heat,” said provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry in a provided statement today. </p>
<p>“While this was the first provincewide heat dome experienced in BC, we know it will not be the last.”</p>
<p>Here’s a full list of daily temperature records that were broken on Wednesday, June 24:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chetwynd (28.9°C) – old record of 27.8°C set in 2023</li>
<li>Duncan (32.4°C) – old record of 32.2°C set in 1940</li>
<li>Qualicum Beach (29.5°C) – old record of 29.4°C set in 2017</li>
<li>Richmond (28°C) – old record of 26.7°C set in 1906</li>
<li>Squamish (32.6°C) – old record of 31.1°C set in 2017</li>
<li>Vancouver (27.7°C) – old record of 26.7°C set in 1906</li>
<li>Victoria (30°C) – tied old record previously set in 1925</li>
</ul>
