Warm and dry conditions have been forecast for much of British Columbia this summer, with present El Niño conditions expected to strengthen through the winter months. While this week’s temperatures are well above the seasonal average, they remain far from the all-time high of 38.9°C set in Dawson Creek on June 29, 2021, during a historic heat wave that smashed records across the province.
With the Peace River region no stranger to summer storms, residents are reminded that severe thunderstorm watches can bring damaging wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rain. For now, the week ahead looks mainly sunny and hot, with a brief chance of unsettled weather to start.
