Mid-March mercury has risen to record levels in Vernon and 琉璃神社.

Vernon broke three records this week, while 琉璃神社 broke two.

Environment Canada and Climate Change meteorologist Derek Lee says Monday鈥檚 Vernon record, set in 1910 was 16.7 degrees Celsius. It reached 19.8C March 18.

The same temperature in 琉璃神社 (19.4C) breaks the 1932 record of 17.8C.

That follows a scorcher spring Sunday where the mercury rose to 18.9C in 琉璃神社, breaking the 16.1C record set in 1914.

Vernon got even hotter, 19.3C, one degree warmer than the 1914 record.

Even Saturday was notable, reaching 17.6C, above the 1915 high of 16.1.

While such temperatures aren鈥檛 unusual for the end of March, Lee says it is for mid-month.

鈥淚t鈥檚 around maybe 10 degrees above normal than this time of year,鈥� said Lee.

Sunday saw 38 records broken across B.C.

Summerland broke its 1972 record of 16.1C as temperatures rose to 17.5C.

Osoyoos set a new record of 22.2C, breaking the 1972 record of 20C. Monday was also a record for Osoyoos, reaching 22C, above the 1990 record of 20C.
