Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 06 Feb, 2025 01:00 PM
  • Arctic outflow, extreme cold warnings still up in parts of B.C. and cold persists

Much of British Columbia is thawing to seasonal temperatures, although arctic outflow warnings remain in place for some parts of the province. 

Environment Canada says an arctic air mass is bringing strong winds through the Whistler Valley and wind-chill values near -20 C while snow remains in Metro Vancouver, where temperatures are still below freezing.

Inland regions of the North Coast, including Terrace and Kitimat, are also under the same Arctic outflow warning, with the weather office saying winds are expected to ease by Friday.

An extreme cold warning is also in place for Yoho and Kootenay national parks in southeastern, B.C., with Environment Canada saying wind chill values near -35 C are anticipated before temperatures moderate on Sunday.

The Village of Clinton, about 40 km northwest of Cache Creek, was listed as the coldest spot in the province as of Thursday morning at -34 C.

Kindakun Rocks in Haida Gwaii was the hottest spot in B.C. at 3.5 C.
