VANCOUVER – Environment Canada is forcasting another day of sizzling heat through much of British Columbia’s southern Interior, Okanagan and Fraser Canyon.

The weather office says 13 temperature records were broken or tied across southern B.C. on Sunday.

The Fraser Canyon community of Lytton was the hot spot in Canada at 41.2 C, which broke the old record of 40.4 set 12 years ago.

Heat warnings remain posted for the Fraser Canyon, as well as the Okanagan, North and South Thompson, Cariboo and 100 Mile regions.

The high temperature in Kamloops Sunday was 36.5. Monday’s forecast is for a high of 37. Forecasters say temperatures are expected to moderate slightly in most regions but remain at least in the mid-30s.
