Campbell River set a new record with the mercury rising to 32.2, breaking the old record of 32.0 in 2016. 

Both Courtenay and Comox came close to rewriting its record books with a high of 30.3, tying the record set back in 2016. 

Also, the Malahat had a new benchmark of 30.2, besting the old record of 29.8 from three years ago in 2022. 

Overall, August 24 saw 21 communities across B.C. set new temperature records.
