KAMLOOPS — The numbers are in and confirm several temperature records were set in Kamloops last month.

But Environment Canada Forecaster Lisa Coldwells says that still didn’t give Kamloops its hottest April on record.

“For Kamloops, April turned out to be a mean of 13.1°C, which compared to the normal of 9.9°C,” said Coldwell “That certainly makes it a warm month, but it makes it the third warmest month (on record.)” 

While April was above normal, May is starting off in record breaking form.

Kamloops set a new record for the day Monday, reaching 30.9°C, the old record from 1937 was 30.0°C.
