It’s unusual to see melting snow at this time of year, but the storms along the coast are causing record-breaking highs.

UNBC Professor of Environmental Science, Dr. Dery, said the warming will continue for the next few days.

“ El Nino is still very prominent in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Sea surface temperatures are about two degrees above average, which is the strong El Nino, and that typically means warmer temperatures and reduced snowpacks for British Columbia. And that’s exactly what we’re experiencing right now.”

The temperatures will remain above freezing until later this week and drop to the teens at night during the weekend.
