In a heat wave in western Canada, local authorities have recorded the highest temperature in the history of the North American country. In the city of Lytton (British Columbia province), authorities recorded 46.6 degrees on Sunday, according to the local weather agency. This clearly surpassed the previous record of 45 degrees set in Midale (Saskatchewan) in 1937.
Local record temperatures of well over 40 degrees were also recorded in numerous other locations in North America, including the state of Oregon in the western United States. Heat is forecast to continue in the coming days. This increases the risk of forest fires in many places. The temperatures currently recorded in western Canada in some cases even exceeded those of places much further south, such as the US desert city of Las Vegas.
