Here is Burns Lake (taken by Google Streetview during the smoke filled 2018 fire season)...

Thanks! I didn't find it...

Interesting about Billings record is that so many stations were so hot that day. On September 3rd, 1988 Williams Lake, McLeese Lake, Billings, Yale, and Cowichan Lake were 39C. Lytton and Princeton were over 38.5C.

Ya, absolutely.

Not a good location, but probably better than Barkerville!

Ya, what a joke! Record high of 35.6C... at 1283 m and 53°N!
Nevertheless, it's sad the station closed in 2015 after 127 years of records...

I think that many stations actually move around over the years. This is one. I could be wrong, but it's hard to imagine it being in that exact spot in 1899.

Another higher elevation station is Big Creek (1175m), which closed in 1998. Clearly the station was down around 500m in the 1800s because there's no way it could be that warm (I'm guessing down near where Big Creek flows into the Chilcotin River. Not only is the the 38.9C/102F of August 1898 out of this world hot, but an average high of 31 for the month is not possible. Even a low of 9.9C is way above what you'd find at 1175m on the Chilcotin plateau.

Here is another Cariboo station. Spokin Lake is east of Williams Lake and 150 Mile House. 1033 m elevation. Lows of 5C at night would be a warm August. Same would go for Big Creek.

Good point. But it's miserable to see so many badly located stations.

According to its data, Midway seems to be a good one, but I can't find it in Google.
