Another one bites the dust. The Alberni Airport station set a high temperature record for a fifth day in a row yesterday.

35.4°C beat all other temperatures for August 26 since that station came online in 1994.

There is less of a chance for a 6th record today. The forecast is for a high of 34°C, and the airport record is 35.1°C set just two years ago. The historical record is 36.7°C from 1916 at the Beaver Creek station.
