Lytton, BC, broke the record Sunday afternoon for the hottest temperature recorded in Canada with 46.6 C, according to Environment Canada.

The previous Canada record was 45C, set in Saskatchewan in July 1937.

As I write this the recent record is expected to be broken again this week as temperatures rise further.

Lytton is now largely gone, it burned down shortly after setting the new Canadian heat record.
