High of 33.5c in east Coquitlam.

The two nearest stations to me on wunderground recorded highs of 33.2c and 33.3c.

Nice start to September!

[Forrest Gump]

Definitely hot out there, even I hit 28° and car thermometer showed 32° even though white rock official high is only 25°. Roads and parking lots definitely felt like it was over 30° .

Although it’s been 19 years since I was up there, I was told then we needed a 4WD. My ‘91 2WD GM pickup did just fine. It had plenty of clearance. The running boards gently scrapped the road in places, but nothing serious. I don’t know how degraded the road is since then. But then if one had a vehicle with plenty of clearance and knew how to navigate that, 2WD was very doable.

I went with a group of friends from church that time in July ‘05. There was almost a dozen of us. After we had summited we were resting at that little lake when there was a cry—scream, really—for help a couple hundred meters up the trail. It was a party of two women. One had slipped and it was obvious her leg was badly broken. Good thing we were a large party. Us guys carried her to my truck. We gingerly placed her in the box. My friend in his pu raced down the mountain and called an ambulance. I drove as cautiously as possible as every bump was agony for her. But she was also going into shock so I was trying to go as quickly as possible too, if that makes sense. Made it quite a ways down before I met the ambulance. After the adrenaline wore off coupled with the fatigue of the hike, we were famished and exhausted. It was pizza, beer, and a movie for us to unwind. That was my Cheam experience. I’ve wondered how her recovery went as that was a really break with the bone protruding under the skin.

Absolutely intense and insane story Mattman it would have made a great short movie however l was expecting the ending to read that girl is now your wife.

Not quite 2017 levels (nevermind 1988) but definitely a fairly significant heatwave for September.

Yes Thumid that September 2017 featured a smoke fest if l recall capping off which would have been possibly record high temperatures. I recall living in Mission at the rime and the overnight lows were insanely warm for afew nights.

33.3C here.

I hit 33.5 and I am in a cooler area.

Crazy thing is just now by the Fraser it is warm out but there is dew forming on the grass already.

So it seems like some parts of the lower mainland were right up there with the valley and interior towns, not bad.

Cheam trail is cruisy once you get there. FSR is not fun. A full hour one way. Did it in a Tacoma and made it to the trail head but people were parking farther down and that’s after they fixed the worst part in the road last year. Last year when we did it we did not make it to the trail head and it became a 15km 900m hike.

Sounds nice. Sport version or OffRoad?

It's EXTREMELY rare in September though.

71 years of hourly data at YXX, so 51,240 datapoints.

How many of those had a dewpoint of 20?

Just 2!

2/51240 = 0.004% of the time in September the dewpoint is 20C.

Only occurrences:
1) 1963-09-09 18:00:00 PDT (20.0C)
2) 2013-09-11 18:00:00 PDT (20.5C)

So, it could happen, but very very uncommon.

Well, there you go.... new record set for September. 6 of the top 9 most humid September hours on record at YXX occurred this month...
