Temperatures in the Comox Valley reached a new daily high over the weekend. 

Both the Courtenay and Comox areas hit 11.7 C on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025, tying the record for that date, according to Environment Canada. 

The readings were among eight locations across British Columbia to reach or match Dec. 14 temperature records, and Qualicum Beach was the only other Vancouver Island site on the list. 

Records in the Comox Valley have been kept since 1914.
