Heat and smoke advisories lifted for the Okanagan, records broken during heat wave
The heat wave has passed and the skies have cleared in the Okanagan, but not before setting some new temperature records set in Vernon.
Environment Canada lifted the Heat Warning and its smoky skies bulletin Tuesday, July 23.
The Heat Warning was first issued for the Okanagan on July 4, and temperatures really started to climb on the July 7.
“On July 7 we ended up reaching our 35 C high, we actually reached 36.1 C, and that continued for two weeks and ended Monday night this week (July 22),” Ken Dosanjh, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, told Vernon Matters.
