It's really hot in BC.
Walking on a water (Playing Jesus...) Temperatures reached 31.9 Celsius at Victoria airport, topping the previous July 22 record of 31.5 C set in 2002, according to Environment Canada. At the Inner Harbour, temperatures reached 29.5 C.
Weather Network, which supplies figures for the
Times Colonist's daily weather page, put Saturday's high in Victoria at 32.4 C.
The hottest day ever recorded at Victoria airport was July 16, 1941, when the temperature hit 36.1 C.
We spent that day at the
Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park in
Parksville. At low tide the ocean recedes almost a kilometer, providing an ideal place for visitors of all ages to play in the sand and explore the shoreline. When the tide rolls in over the sun-baked sand, the warmed water is unbeatable for swimming and salt water fun.Rathtrevor Beach is ideal for a relaxed family outing. Simply sit back and soak up the seaside atmosphere or take a walk through the wooded upland area of the park.
That was a great day for the all family.
