The late-summer heatwave in Prince George is expected to last another week according to Environment Canada.
Temperatures for the Labour Day long weekend will be around the 29-degree mark, roughly 10 degrees warmer for this time of year.
Meteorologist, Matt Loney told Vista Radio we could brake some temperature records heading into next week, after coming up short a couple times already.
“I can safely say we will see some strengthening over the next week or so. But in the near term, if we go back to yesterday, it was the second-highest temperature for yesterday’s date in Prince George but we have had a number of top five records in the last four or five days.”
“I think we will see records start to break next week. Temperatures this time of year you need 31 or 32 degrees to break some records.”
Loney added these types of systems aren’t common towards the end of the season.
“Temperatures by the middle of next will be probably be 11 to 14 degrees above normal. It is a pretty strong ridge.”
The forecast for next week is sunshine with temperatures in the low to mid 30’s.
