For the third consecutive day, Kamloops saw temperatures that it’s never seen before in recorded history.
Environment Canada says that Kamloops hit 47.3°C on Tuesday, which eclipsed the all-time temperature record by 1.5°C.
That record of 45.8°C was set 24 hours earlier, while the previous record was set 24 hours prior to that.
It means the last three days were the hottest ever recorded in Kamloops.
In fact, the 47.3°C and 45.8°C from the last two days were hotter than any recorded day in Canadian history before Sunday, when Lytton broke the country’s 84-year-old temperature record of 45.0°C.
Of course, Tuesday's temperature was also a daily record for Kamloops, as it beat the previous record of 39.2°C in 2008 by more than eight degrees.
While daily temperatures could continue to fall in Kamloops over the coming days and weeks, the benchmark of 47.3°C will almost certainly stand for a while.
Today is the final day with a high above 40°C, with temperatures expected to drop into the 30s on Thursday.
