Lytton
Lytton experiences an inland hot-summer mediterranean climate (Csa), using the -3 °C isotherm, or a dry-summer continental climate (Dsa), using the 0 °C isotherm. During summer heat waves, Lytton is often the hottest spot in Canada, despite its location north of 50°N in latitude. Because of the dry summer air and a relatively low elevation of 195 m (640 ft), summer afternoon shade temperatures frequently reach 35 °C (95 °F) and occasionally top 40 °C (104 °F). Lytton holds the record for the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada with a record high of 49.6 °C (121.3 °F) on June 29 of the 2021 Western North America heat wave. This occurred after having already broken records multiple times during the previous days of that heat wave. This is the world's highest temperature ever recorded north of the 45th parallel. The previous record was 121 °F (49.4 °C) in Steele, North Dakota on July 6, 1936. Lytton has recorded a higher temperature than all but 4 U.S. states, with only Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Nevada ever recording higher temperatures. Lytton has also recorded higher temperatures than all of Europe and South America have ever recorded.
