B.C. remains in the grips of an Arctic ridge of high pressure as temperatures plummeted around the province.
On Wednesday morning, Global BC meteorologist Mark Madryga said Vancouver Airport unofficially recorded -8.8 C, within just 1/10 of a degree of the all-time record for Feb. 5.
Although daytime and nighttime readings across most of B.C. will rise slightly heading into the upcoming weekend, they will still be well below average for early February, and will likely drop several degrees again early next week, Madryga added.
As of 6 a.m. on Wednesday, the wind chill values read as below. The wind chill is a combination of wind and air temperatures.
