Happy Canada Day!
Stay hydrated out there in western Canada as a heat dome passes thru. The hottest place in North America this past Tuesday was Lytton, British Columbia which reached 49.6 degrees C (121F). That also set a record in Canada for the hottest temperature ever recorded in the country beating a previous 45.4 degree temperature in Saskatchewan set in the 1930’s.
Sadly, less than 24 hours later, a fire ripped thru the town and there’s hardly anything left of Lytton now.
