Victoria, while cool, steered clear of the record books on Sunday, with a maximum temperature of 16.5 C and a minimum of 9.9 C at Victoria International Airport
Environment Canada says an unseasonable cool air mass over southern B.C. has broken minimum temperature records, including one dating back about 70 years.
“This time of year the average high should be around 19.3 and the average low is 9.4,” he said. “So we were a little cooler on the max temperature and pretty much almost right on the average low.”Records for low daily maximum temperatures were also set, with the Kelowna area reaching just 13.3 C, breaking the 15 C record for that day set in 1906.
Summer officially starts on Thursday and will come on the heels of what Proctor called an “unsettled” spring on the Island.
