Temperatures soared in the Alberni Valley Wednesday and the record-breaking heat wave is expected to continue.
The mercury reached 36 degrees Celsius yesterday, breaking the record of 35.2 C set back in 2009.
Temperatures in the high 30s are expected for the rest of the week and into next week, including 38 C today. There is a special weather statement in effect for the heat wave.
Port Alberni’s Salvation Army has opened an emergency cooling station in their new Argyle Street location to help people prevent heat stroke.
