This is easily the craziest heat wave I’ve seen here. It got to 43 for us today. We had set our highest temperature historically for the day at 9:30am.

I’m in Williams Lake, not sure whether it’s worse or not in Pemberton. More good news, as is usually the case with these high pressure systems once they give way we are forecasted to get a massive thunderstorm. Time for forest fire season….RIP.
