Note that the warming of average lows is mostly due to the UHI (Urban Heat Island) - buildings give off heat which provides a source of warmth during the overnight that may not have been present 50+ years ago for some climate stations.
YXX is a great example of an area that has developed substantially since the 50s, so it's makes sense that the lows have warmed considerably.

Ah yes , it's all coming back to me, from gr.9 social studies , about the bitter and fierce Similkameens vs Tulameens rivalry , equalled only by the Hatfields- McCoys family feud. In 1875 The Similkameens were pushed deep into the mountains east of hwy 5a by the Tulameens , they then retreated back west of the hwy and settled near Otter lake, where they currently have a thriving community with quad rentals, a community centre, an outdoor skating rink, a library, a volunteer fire department, a skidoo dealer and repair centre, and a general store. While the Similkameens currently has umm.. nothing , maybe some snowmobiling with one cabin.

I was actually thinking the opposite - the area of YXX has not significantly urbanized since the 50's. Not compared to other areas.
Outside of the South Fraser Way corridor, Abbotsford is not a very heavily ubanized area. Just look at Google Earth and compare to other places such as Langley city, Port Kells, Newton, Annacis Island, Sea Island (YVR)... all places that have significantly urbanized over the last 70 years.
Some UHI effect is likely, but I don't think it's the main driver.
Ya...tell em Abby!!!
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++

Amazing sky tonight. So many different cloud types and contrails. Made for a very interesting view. The first is my fav with the stark white cloud behind the soft pink ones.
More info on the fire, person caused and 0.03ha. Hopefully they are able to get it out quickly. The helicopters stopped flying this afternoon so I thought it was out/under control but they updated with an increase in size. I wish they had a time of update on the site too.

Absolutely outstanding shots, Ms. Amazingcreeks, you've got your chemtrails to keep the rain away, Hawk trails to guard against Flamingo infestation, Haarp trails to keep everything away.
And picasso colors to boot best shots this summer.
very nice..thx for posting with updates daily
Looks very reasonable as we move towards September. How many consecutive back to back to back heat waves @~34c can we get right?
