Fire danger is also high across south coast, with campfires and barbecues banned in Metro Vancouver regional parks.
Continued hot dry weather over the south coast means Metro Vancouver is extending its lawn watering restrictions to the end of October, in order to conserve drinking water.
Under the regulations, residents and businesses are permitted to water lawns during designated hours one early morning per week. Trees, shrubs, and flowers may be watered in the morning when using a sprinkler, or any time when hand watered or using drip irrigation. Edible plants are exempt from the regulations.
Temperature records broken Unseasonably hot, dry weather through the first week of October has resulted in more records for high temperatures falling too. Other communities where temperature records were broken included the Sunshine Coast, Powell River and Whistler, as well as areas in the province’s Interior and on Vancouver Island.Fire danger high With another warm and dry long weekend in the forecast, Metro Vancouver has issued a warning that the south coast is under a high to extreme fire danger rating.
