44.4C found

I found it. Someone is using the high temperature on July 16, 1941 from LILLOOET, not LYTTON. Actually, 44.4C was recorded on the 16th and 17th of July, 1941. http://climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=CA&StationID=955&Year=1941&Month=7&Day=24

Highest Recorded Temperature in Canada

I found this on the Weather Network: "The highest temperature recorded in Canada is 45°C at Midvale and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan. This happened on July 5, 1937."

All-time high temperature

I could only find a maximum of 42.2 C at [1]. Is there another source that lists the 44.4 temperature. Also, Canada Weather Extremes lists the highest temperature in Canada as 45.2 C, but this is also unsourced. It would be great if anyone could provide a source. Thank you.

Also, the same website gives 41.1 C for Lillooet [2]. Ufwuct 22:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but which weather station in Lillooet (there's more than one!)?Skookum1 (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I had a look at that ref, and it's only from 1971 and is at "LILLOOET SETON BCHPA", which is either the Seton Powerhouse to the south of town and the confluence of Cayoosh Creek/the Seton River, or at Seton Dam, which is at the head of the Seton Canal near the foot of Seton Lake; everybody in Lillooet knows it's always cooler out at the lake, and as far as the powerhouse goes it's not in town but down in the cooler area along the river, and affected by river temperature. Much like rainfall figures for YVR being used to promote the supposed 40 inches of rain Vancouver gets (when Kits/Downtown get at least 70), quoting this figure is hardly representative of temperatures in Lillooet, and I don't care if it's "official" or not....I haven't lived in Lillywet for a number of years, but I know there was a weather station at the old Forestry offices at the intersection of Main St and T-Bird Road (by the Totem/Reynolds and across from the BCR station), another at the Courthouse, another at Riverlands and various private thermometers, including one at the honey farm, an d I'd think the RCMP office (the old town hall) might be another location where records were kept, likewise the rail station. And needless to say, records since 1971 are hardly definitive....it's tpyical of the feds, far off in Ottawa, to pick a location not even in the old Village of Lillooet, i.e. along Main Street; and also to not display known records from before then - it's not like the Govt Agent, from Phair on down, didn't keep track....as also with Forestry. I'm not sure whether the Courthouse area would be hotter than the area of the old Forestry offices; VLA Flats always seemed hotter, even though it was down by the river (but not on the river like the powerhouse is....)Skookum1 (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reclassified Lytton as Csb... Lytton may get some heatwaves, but the July and August average temperature is below 22C. I don't believe anywhere in W. Canada has a monthly average temp. of or above 22C. 24.108.58.1 (talk) 01:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History section

The history section mostly talks about Lord Lytton and the Lytton fanfest held during BC150...in somewhat too much detail; I don't have time right now but information on early history should outweigh that stuff; Fraser's visit, the Fraser Canyon War, the River Trail, Fort Dallas/the Forks, the Cariboo Road and its demise with the building of the CPR, the railway-era boom, Chinatown (such as it was), and other such stuff; Lord Lytton is not really part of the town's history, though it's a nice story.Skookum1 (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that much of the information about Edward Bulwer-Lytton is not about the town and properly belongs in the article MP novelist. A sentence or two about the debate would be appropriate because it is relevant to the town. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 19:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lytton is semi-arid while Lillooet is not?

Lytton receives much more precipitation. Not only that, but more falls during winter than summer, compared with Lillooet, so one would this this would lower evaporation. Is this an error? Alex of Canada (talk) 07:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

high temperature again

the debate above about who has the hottest temperature in all of Canadian history might be finally settled today, as Lytton has just hit 45.5C, and with more hours to spare in the afternoon, the temperature may yet rise even higher. i'll put this in if nobody else does. —Soap— 21:57, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's hit 46.1 C as of mid-afternoon Sunday. Geordie (talk) 23:24, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is confirmed officially by Environment Canada and by major news sources in Canada (e.g. CBC. It may be even higher tomorrow so let's see if records will be shattered tomorrow. Ssbbplayer (talk) 00:21, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's happening again. Monday, June 28, 2021 at 4pm local time: 47.5C and counting. We will need a secondary source to confirm that these all-time highs are also the highest temperature ever recorded above the 50th parallel anywhere on Earth.

I tossed in a reference from a secondary news source. I'm new to Wikipedia so I hope I cited it correctly. If not, apologies. Hamster Drink (talk) 22:23, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is or was

Hello, in light of the current fire there is an edit warring about whether Lytton town should be marked as present or past tense. Multiple IPs recently changing sentences to past tenses such as was, sat, etc which misleading readers that the town is destroyed. Should the town be marked as "is" or "was"? 180.242.14.83 (talk) 08:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The town should be marked as "is". It is still a town. Jolty (talk) 17:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Is". It's too early to tell how much was destroyed. Also, it's likely that many of the burned buildings will be rebuilt. Geordie (talk) 19:09, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No question. The town is still there. Only the building burnt. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request: Current event

The article needs a {{Template:current event}} tag at the top. --174.94.31.124 (talk) 05:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Geordie (talk) 05:32, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
