Tuesday marked the 33rd consecutive day of sunshine in Metro Vancouver, making July the sunniest month on record in the City of Glass.
The weather records, taken from Vancouver International Airport (YVR), date back to 1953.
Environment Canada says the record for driest month ever will be broken if the sunny stretch keeps up until Wednesday.
The hot and dry summer has been great for patio and beach-goers, but it's also created tinder dry conditions throughout the southern half of the province.
Wildfire risks across most of the province are at high or extreme, according to the Wildfire Management Branch.
Crews are still working at dousing a nine-hectare wildfire near Pitt Lake. And although the blaze is now 100 per cent contained, they’re also keeping an eye on hot spots at a 70-hectare fire near Okanagan Falls.
There are now 91 active wildfires in B.C., with 21 new fires on Monday alone.
Environment Canada Meteorologist David Jones said there may be some relief in the forecast as the long weekend approaches.
Jones said the streak of rainless days may come to an end on Friday or Saturday.
“So the weather pattern is changing, so the streak is definitely in jeopardy as we head towards the weekend,” he told CTV News.
