Nanaimo could see 31 C while Port Alberni can expect a sizzling 33 C
Temperatures are poised to break heat records in the next few days, while smoky conditions linked to distant wildfires are expected to continue in the capital region.
The Greater Victoria forecast is for 29 C today and 28 C on Saturday, while Nanaimo could see 31 C and Port Alberni can expect a sizzling 33 C. Proctor said that the redeeming thing about high temperatures at this time of year is they tend to come with relatively low overnight temperatures. Meanwhile, smoke that has wafted into the region from wildfires on the mainland and in Washington state and Oregon will stick around for a few more days because of the current wind pattern, said Proctor, although the air is expected to clear on Sunday.
