Tyee Chev 7x2.5 PROCESS
This past weekend has been the hottest on record in the last 10 years. According to Environment Canada’s statistics, last Thursday’s high of 33.5 degrees is the hottest in Campbell River in the last 10 years, beating even Aug. 18 of 2014 and that month has the highest average temperature on record in the last 10 years. The forecast for the upcoming week is rivalling those numbers. In 2014, the average high was 26.2 and the average low was 12.2. So far this month, the average high has been 25.3 and the average low has been 12.5. This comes following the second coldest July, on average, since 2011. The average high for the month was 22.5. The average high in 2011 was 19.9. With this heat came an Islandwide fire ban that included the City of Campbell River imposing an internal ban. As of Tuesday, six days after the city’s fire ban was put in place, the Campbell River Fire Department had responded to 19 incidences of fires, beach fires or smoke.
