- Опубліковано 29 чер 2021
- A slew of sudden deaths is being blamed on a record-breaking heatwave sweeping British Columbia and Alberta. Temperatures hit a record high for a third straight day on Tuesday, reaching 49.5 Celsius (121 Fahrenheit) in the village of Lytton.
Police in Vancouver said they had responded to 65 sudden-death calls between Friday and Tuesday. The deaths were still under investigation and many of the deceased were seniors.
British Columbia closed schools and educational institutions due to the record-breaking temperatures. Prior to the weekend, the historical high in Canada was 45 Celsius, set in Saskatchewan in 1937.

For someone living in Canada I can say that the most we've ever seen was 32 degrees. So to go from that to 42 (the max in my area) was quite the jump.
I agree. I'm Canadian and I always tell forgeiners... It never, ever goes past 32....This is insane
how did you guys cope?
@@TomNook. We suffer, that's how.
Are u from Changcouver too ?
Toronto has been hitting 40C almost every summer in the past 10 years. Don't know what it's like in Western Canada.
You know it's really hot when even tropical countries start considering this hot.
tropical countries don't get as hot as continental ones.
I'm from Philippines but the temperature there just 35 to 37.. Now I'm in hk the very hot weather here is just 33 degree celcious
@H Sh Being from Nova Scotia I beg to differ
The all-time world record is 56.7 C at Death Valley. Pakistan saw 53.7 C once at Turbat, Balochistan. India only hit 51 C at Phalodi, Rajastan.
On the Wikipedia ranking of extreme heat, Canada is now found between Sudan (49.7 C) and Syria (49.4 C).
To be sure, it's not likely that BC will exceed 35 C for the next month, as happens in Balochistan or Rajastan.
Thank u for the perspective. My poor fellow Canadians! We aren’t built for this.

The summer just started. Hopefully this was just a freak heat wave but something tells me maybe not the way this year has been going.
Meanwhile my part of the world has been too cold for the last 2 months. reeeeee but you can't say that reeeeee

You can live off grid. Be an example. I wouldn't want to live like that. But I drink filtered tab water. Still I am part of the problem. Just dont have children that helps most

Being in India which tropical region, 44 Deg c itself is unbearable. It clocks 49 degree in Barmer, Rajasthan during summer which is a desert. One can imagine difficulties faced by Canadians, stay indoors hydrate yourself with water and lemonade, come out only during night or early morning.
Tropical countries have also high humidity.
In India the 44 Celsius are about 50 compared with other countries,because is wet.
But most non tropical countries have low humidity,except coastal areas of course.
So it's better

This heatwave we have in Alberta is coming to Ontario soon
Get used to it. That's what I thought here but every year it seems to get worse now. Funny thing is I thought if it gets too hot here I could just move to Canada.
Don't worry, the heat dome is currently covering both BC and Alberta but it is slowly moving east so eventually the remnants of this heat wave will replace that little one you're now experiencing in Ontario.

you are old enough to learn that humidity factors in. Always mention humidity when talking about temperature. You can easily die in 37deg over 50 when humidity is high.

I actually enjoyed the heat here, except at night. Of course, I was able to get to the beach most days to cool down. The fact is though, large numbers of elderly people actually did die, so anybody downplaying how hot it was is not understanding how severe and unusual it really was.

This is the reason why human should plant more trees and lessen pollution and toxic waste.
Easier to stop deforestation than to plant more 🌳. Only if we were capable of holding some culprits accountable. Too bad our politicians pockets are lined up.
More particulate pollution like the old days would keep the planet cooler . More pollution is required until co2 is back to 280ppm .
We should just build permanent structures and items so we won't need so much.

Global warming refers to the global average temperature. Not the temperature of specific locations on the planet.
It may be colder than average in other places on earth right now, and the global average would still be higher.
@@yurichtube1162 agree with thor. Seems localised for now but global is unfortunately just a function of time

The world is going crazy. Canda gets heatwaves and here in Czechia tornado swept several villages (we never had tornado big like this). Everything while we’re still dealing with covid. What a crazy time we live in. I just hope it all gets better.

Difference is this is Canada. Not some dry deserty area or a very humid area that always has this type of heat. Buildings in Canada aren’t built for high temps either.
They are used to it.
Make one that runs off a small fan from a cooler box with ice in it. Lots of designs on UA-cam. Look up magnet generators as well. Free energy.
I live in Brazil. 50C is unbearable even in the hottest regions here. Fun fact: it's snowing in southern cities here, it's little but ITS SNOWING IN BRAZIL.

You guys get a quarter inch of snow and shut the city down. It's all relative.
Trust me..been in both places and 100 degrees in Arizona is much more tolerable than 100 degrees in Vancouver because of the humidity...on top of that, not all homes and apartments are equipped with quality AC units, and the sun doesn't even set until like 11pm so a lot of people can't comfortably be in their homes until after midnight

It was over 40 degrees! It was literally one of the hottest places in the planet with the exception of the major deserts (Sahara etc). The hottest Canada has ever been. This is not a joke and really NOT funny!
@@neelavathimanda922 that’s really rude.
That was the most intense heat I've ever felt, even just moving around was absolute torture. My apartment faces west and I swear it was nearly 50 degrees inside each night.

I am a south east asian living in the middle east! 45 degree is a common temperature here!😓 But for a country like canada with cold climate , well people wont be able to bear the heat as they are not used to it!
yah that is a fact
What sucks is that the houses that they build here are meant to retain heat, rarely any houses have built in AC as well, so it ends up cooking you

Climate crisis is not about climate. Its the lack of humanity, disrespect to nature and if you believe, to God. You canadians were not expecting to be on the list, right?

Minor correction: *46.9 degrees celsius, not 49. Still insane for BC, and especially because we haven't even reached our hottest month yet. Also, the small town where that was recorded, Lytton, burned to the ground a few days later.
Oh no. How did the town burn down? What happened to its people?
At this point they think it was caused by a train. I guess sometimes trains create minor sparks, and if the ground and surrounding area is tinder dry, that can lead to fires? I believe, miraculously, only two people died, but the small town has literally been erased, according to news reports.
49.6 degrees Celsius is real 😰

I only went outside around 6pm on the day Seattle hit 104. The sensation outside was actually horrifying. I've been in dry heat like that, but it felt like all the vegetation in Seattle was losing moisture at a tremendous rate. I heard lumber creak kind of, and hissing gasses coming out of wood and trees. I swear it sounded like plants faintly screaming, though they don't have brains and mouths, so it was moisture flying out. It was so surreal. Never seen anything like it in Seattle.

Besides that, now some parts of Brazil are suffering with a little bit of cold caused by polar air masses coming from Antarctica, it's not as cold as the traditionally cold countries can get (Canada being one of then), but our infrastructure is only prepared for hot weather, so when its just a little bit of cold, it still is too cold for us. The world climate is getting crazy.
@@bingo737 Just for contextualization, some places here in Brazil, recorded yesterday temperatures of less than - 5º C, which is unusual, i know this is not too cold for some people that live in cold countries, temperatures there can go well below that, but that kind of temperature can be very unpleaseble if you have no way to get warm. In cold countries, people have a very good heating systems and the houses are built for that, but here you feel the cold even inside your home. Houses here are made to cooler the weather because of the heat, while in Canada houses are made to trap the heat to keep then warmer, maybe that is the answer people are dying there, with this kind of temperature, the houses there can get worse than a sauna. I'm praying for the people that are suffering with the heat there and the cold here, homeless people are always the most affected ones.
@@TheFelipeqxd Yeah I know. But not all of Canada is cold, which people might think. During summer the interior of the country can easily get up to 35 degrees (and now almost 50), so it really is not an arctic environment where most canadians live.

Any body can plant trees.
What about rich citizens from poor countries?
@@mulmusfistus4128 exactly
there are rich people in developing Countries too, fyi
I live in Houston, TX and was effected by the horrible ice storm in February. Our family wasbt prepared then...this extreme weather is just so horrific. My heart goes out to everyone effected be this❤
I rather freese and wear layers instead of sweat bruh plus winter fashion is muah chefs kiss lmao
I live in Canada. We are far more used to -40°C than 40°C. We are used to feet of snow over night, the streets being sheer ice. We don’t have Air Conditioning and we literally are not made for the heat. Never thought I’d wish for winter in summer but here I am. When we have 9 months of winter and snow a year.
U are so lucky girl 😃
@ barrow, oh oh so sorry dear, ❣️ thanks to for your kind heart, 🙏 I hope your in a good health?

Oh my, and they have days ahead to deal with. Here in Tanzania I never experienced such amount heat all my life. Strange.
As a Canadian this is the first time I have experienced -42 degrees (Feb 13) & +42(June30) in the same year 🇨🇦
We complain about climate change, yet a lot of us do nothing about it.
There’s nothing that can b done at this point. Our species is doomed. Enjoy ur time while u can.
It's governments manipulating the weather why do you think all the Chem trails all these years. Cause and effect.
It's up to governments to do something about it, we common citizens don't have the power to stop fossil fuels, abolish cars moved by gas or anything that harms our once perfect environment. 😐
The climate changes every day....nothing new there.
@@shinigamieyes7779 We "common" citizens certainly can do something, but some decide to don't do it. If all citizens were reunited and agree to stop using cars, stop buying gasoline, stop buying books or sheets, stop buying plastic containers, etc, a lot of big changes can be made.
People forget that the government and/or organizations are nothing without its people or consumers. What happens is that this is not possible because some people will still think that it would be too difficult, too much of a hassle, so they decide to do nothing because it's just more convenient that way, or maybe because they think it's not worth it or that "everything will be all right"
It was 44 degrees where I live during the weekend and I felt really drained the entire day didn’t realizing what’s wrong until I looked at the temperature.
I think we should also protect the trees from this extreme heat. 🤔
My heart goes out from Phoenix to everyone who had to go through such a hellish heatwave, I am genuinely heartbroken from all the lives that were lost to it.
I'm in the Fraser Valley, which was hit especially hard. It was 46°C on Monday. Not only were my garden plants cooked by the daytime heat, I'm hearing anecdotal reports of bodies decomposing in their hot apartments as police and paramedics are stretched thin. Never thought I'd hear of this happening anywhere, especially my home city. 😰
49! oh my, though Mine area has already faced, 42ish every year. All government must order every people on earth to plant as much trees as possible. Our area covers most with plants yet faces 42 every year.
Maybe next time interview people that have zero resources to combat the heat wave because those are the people that are ACTUALLY being affected… rather than interviewing yuppies with 1st world problems.

There's no 100s dead. I live in Canada.
@@foreverblue1646 They are just one city reported 37 heat deaths with in 24 hours.
To your research before judging others.
Yet
Lytton, where the record heat was recorded, is 96% burned. The town is burned, completely.

God punishes Canada for continuing to occupy Native lands and the massacre of indigenous women and children
@@slslbbn4096 Wyekt, Bailey Green Skwest, secwepemc-tsin, (Hello my name is Bailey Green in Secwepmectsin).
It'd be very ironic that we, indigenous people of the interior plateau would ourselves be punished alongside the Canadians.
You seem very angry and frankly vengeful for seemingly no reason. I don't appreciate such hatred for Canadians, even as one who has had family lost to this system. You shouldn't speak such vitriol and not expect consequences.
As for me and my people, we always knew. My grandmother told me about the tree plots dug, but no trees would be planted. 40 years later, there definitely aren't as many trees as there were plots dug up.
I grew up in Kamloops, you shouldn't act as if you understand our issues.
By the way, I am a Tkemlups Indian Band member, aka Kamloops Indian Band.
I really feel bad for them. It was brutal to see on the news the other day of the town that burned down...and the people having to evacuate in like less than 10mins.
@@PierreDennis Same here, It's like hearing that your neighbours have had their houses burnt down. People don't realize how close-knit our communities are in the Interior of BC, we often know of people from little towns like Lytton, so it's especially hard in this season when we all face these challenges. Some more than others, unfortunately.
Yea pretty sad...I'm a days drive north of that and pretty scary seeing all these fires popping up again just hoping for the best at this point
Man I remember when my city here in Ontario got up to 45c with the humdity really sucked.
It was so hot, sometimes I feel like I could see my breath coming out because my breath was colder than the outside air.
South Central Minnesota. Did some grocery shopping last Wednesday @ 10 PM. It was still 87° I realize that temp doesn't sound that outrageous, but the dew-point was 78°. Plus we had an air quality alert because of the smoke from the fires burning in Canada. Thank God for air-conditioning.
Rn here in Mexico we've been flooding in rain for the last weeks and it's super cold, this all feels so weird
Its been cold /cool there as well ?,somebody else said its been cool by their standards in Oman ,and India . So thats weird if right near the equator is cooler than way up here in Canada . we had 36 or 37C here yesterday where I am and 40 with the humidity ,which was blazing hot by our standards..hottest I've ever felt I think in north /central Canada here (tho not the Far North ) . so proves our climate is getting/all crazy ,if its hotter here than there ,
@@mikeneufield2855 It gets real cold when it rains, which is pretty much every day, rn we have fog, which is super rare, idk if it really is climate change or something but it really is weird
Super cold? Isn't Mexico is generally an hot country, Miss Lola Lombardi?
@@everythingisawesome2903 it generally is mr everything is awesome, the last weeks have been cold with a lot of rain, much more than usual
Well, I live in the north of Mexico and temperatures are not cold, but cooler than usual. Normally by this month the temperature in this region would be around 40°C, but it's been around 30°C. And yeah, some rain.
Lytton BC recorded a winter low of -32 degrees celcius so over the course of a few months they've had a temperature variance of 81 degrees C.
And now, they’re gone. It’s heartbreaking.
I believe it's due to their local geography. They're in a valley that causes a local heating phenomena similar to what happens in Death Valley, California.
@@jptrainor No these still little fascists obey the TV and not reality, everything is humans doing! Meanwhile other countries are going into colder temps.
They hoop when it’s 115+ degrees outside? Lol
Very risky. The heat can take down a healthy person.

If that dome makes its way to southern Ontario the humidity will make it feel like 60.
OMG so true it will truly be unbearable. I live in the Ottawa valley and summers are so humid here. When the temperature reaches 30'-35's along with the humidity it's suffocating.🥵
@@fabienneroure9995 In Ontario at night we could "hear the corn grow". Now you'll hear the corn RUNNING OUT OF THE FIELD and into the lake.
The "dome" is a high pressure system. A high pressure system doesn't bring humidity.
@@jptrainor correct,but when your surrounded by 3 cold inland oceans the humidity seems to be all the time when it gets hot.
@@JB-gk3jf I'm not an expert but my understanding is that it's going to have to do with the larger weather systems not directly to do with water proximity. I grew up next to the ocean in NS and it was rarely super humid. I moved to Montreal and Eastern Ontario and I discovered really thick humidity for the first time.
It was so unbelievably hot here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Last night the weather started to cool down. Usually summers are cool here, around 22 degrees. There is no air conditioning in most buildings, and only 6 people are allowed in our building pool due to Covid. It’s a living nightmare. I suffered from heat exhaustion, trying to survive by having cold showers and adding ice packs to my body, and my senior cat. Something has to me done to combat climate change.
If you have a fan, put a wet washcloth in front of it. The air blows through the washcloth and gets cooled. Re-wet the washcloth regularly. There are also videos that show how to make an air conditioner using a small fan and a bucket/tote which you put ice in. They are apparently very effective, although I haven’t tried it. I was about to, but then moved to a house with aircon. For the ice, fill juice bottles or something similar so you put the whole ice block in, then put it back in the freezer once it melts without wasting water and creating mess. Have 2 or 3 so you can rotate them. I hope it cools down soon for you. I’m in Australia and I know how uncomfortable it is.
You don't want to take cold showers because they will make you hotter afterwards. You want to take hot showers

@@TheRandomCommenter this. hot showers open up your pores and allow you to cool off more easily, while cold showers do the exact oppposite.
while at first cold showers are better, they really are not
Better yet, all buildings should just come standard with AC

The town that experienced 49.5 degrees Lytton, B C burned down the next day. Hundreds were displaced.
I live in Australia. We're known for hot summers, right? But if my region shot to 121 degrees Fahrenheit I wouldn't be sunbaking. After more than ten minutes in heat like that, yes, you do die. Anyone who has had to work out in a desert, for example, is permitted out there for about ten minutes absolute tops; then it's back into aircon and drink fluids. No arguments or your system shuts down. They're crazy. And that kind of heat is crazy. I pity all the poor animals too.
