International Desk: Accustomed to extreme cold and snow, Canada has recorded the highest temperature in history. Local time on Sunday, the temperature in one village in British Columbia was 48.1 degrees Celsius. This is the highest temperature record in the history of the country.

According to the British Daily Guardian, the temperature in Lytton, the westernmost province of southern Canada, surpassed the 45 degree Celsius recorded in Saskatchewan, Canada in 1936.

According to an online BBC report, temperatures were recorded on Sunday in more than 40 places in British Columbia, not just Lytton. It is feared that the temperature may drop to a record 47 degrees Celsius.

Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in most parts of western Canada, following record temperatures. The meteorological agency said daily temperatures across British Columbia had broken many records. This pressure will start to decrease from Tuesday.

The coastal city of Vancouver had a low of 31 degrees Celsius on Sunday. The scorching heat caused most people to rush to the beach in hopes of cooling off. Temperatures were also above normal in other parts of the country.

"I want to break records, but it's like breaking them," said David Phillips, a senior climber at Environment Canada. Some parts of western Canada are now warmer than Dubai. People have become restless in the heat. '

Experts say climate change is expected to increase the incidence of extreme weather events such as hurricanes. However, it is difficult to associate any such event with global warming.
