Low of 17C this morning. A little bit of rain. But I love the mildness. I missed it with the excessively long stretch of dry weather and low dewpoint.
The warmspot was Lytton, BC at 31.1C. Another surge of warmth for BC.
Warmest low were Burlington Piers and Cobourg, ON at 19.2C

Tomorrow is our last chance for 30 in BC it looks, and its an outside chance.
A hot day this time of the year in BC is very interesting for the evening temperatures, because it shows the huge range in how fast different locations cool off. Some are close to lakes, which moderate the temperatures, some are located where warm winds tend to blow, and others are located in the heart of a localized cold sink.
At 9PM
Lytton 25
Kamloops 23
Ashcroft 22
Osoyoos 21
Penticton 20
Lillooet 20
Summerland 19
Kelowna Airport 14.... Kelowna airport has among the most rapid cool down after sunset in the hot interior valleys.
At midnight in the summer driving from Kelowna to Vernon, it will often be mid 20s (sometimes high 20s) in downtown Kelowna, then through the suburban areas it dips to low 20s, then, about a km out of the airport the temperature drops to the mid to high teens, then, as you continue past the airport the temperature shoots up again around Winfield and Lake Country to the low 20s and then it can again hit the mid to high 20s along Kalamalka Lake.
Driving along the #1 from Kamloops to Lytton the temperatures are much more even, usually in the mid to high 20s at midnight in July and August.
