Environment Canada is calling for unseasonably warm weather on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, but will it be record warm ?
Ken Dosanj, a Meteorologist with Environment Canada, says we are likely to see records fall in Williams Lake.
“On February 4th the daytime max record is 10 degrees set back in 1963, and so we could potentially break a record in Williams Lake. And then for Thursday the record is 8.9 degrees and that was also set back in 1963. So there is potential for Wednesday and Thursday to break those daytime high maxes.”
Dosanj says Quesnel on the other hand will likely come up a little short.
“Temperature records for Quesnel was. the daytime high record daily, was 15 degrees for both February 4th and 5th and that was set back in 1941. So it doesn’t look like we’ll quite reach that level and break any records.”
The records for Quesnel go back to 1897.
The average daytime high for this time of year is zero.
