Talk:Lytton, British Columbia

message: I found it. Someone is using the high temperature on July 16, 1941 from LILLOOET, not LYTTON. Actually, 44.4C was recorded on the 16th and 17th of July, 1941.

thread_title: 44.4C found

message: I could only find a maximum of 42.2 C at
.  Is there another source that lists the 44.4 temperature.  Also, Canada Weather Extremes lists the highest temperature in Canada as 45.2 C, but this is also unsourced. 
It would be great if anyone could provide a source.  Thank you.  Ufwuct 22:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, but which weather station in Lillooet (there's more than one!)?Skookum1 (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, I had a look at that ref, and it's only from 1971 and is at "LILLOOET SETON BCHPA", which is either the Seton Powerhouse to the south of town and the confluence of Cayoosh Creek/the Seton River, or at Seton Dam, which is at the head of the Seton Canal near the foot of Seton Lake; everybody in Lillooet knows it's always cooler out at the lake, and as far as the powerhouse goes it's not in town but down in the cooler area along the river, and affected by river temperature.  Much like rainfall figures for YVR being used to promote the supposed 40 inches of rain Vancouver gets (when Kits/Downtown get at least 70), quoting this figure is hardly representative of temperatures in Lillooet, and I don't care if it's "official" or not....I haven't lived in Lillywet for a number of years, but I know there was a weather station at the old Forestry offices at the intersection of Main St and T-Bird Road (by the Totem/Reynolds and across from the BCR station), another at the Courthouse, another at Riverlands and various private thermometers, including one at the honey farm, an d I'd think the RCMP office (the old town hall) might be another location where records were kept, likewise the rail station.  And needless to say, records since 1971 are hardly definitive....it's tpyical of the feds, far off in Ottawa, to pick a location not even in the old Village of Lillooet, i.e. along Main Street; and also to not display known records from before then - it's not like the Govt Agent, from Phair on down, didn't keep track....as also with Forestry.  I'm not sure whether the Courthouse area would be hotter than the area of the old Forestry offices; VLA Flats always seemed hotter, even though it was down by the river (but not on the river like the powerhouse is....)Skookum1 (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: All-time high temperature

message: The history section mostly talks about Lord Lytton and the Lytton fanfest held during BC150...in somewhat too much detail; I don't have time right now but information on early history should outweigh that stuff; Fraser's visit, the Fraser Canyon War, the River Trail, Fort Dallas/the Forks, the Cariboo Road and its demise with the building of the CPR, the railway-era boom, Chinatown (such as it was), and other such stuff; Lord Lytton is not really part of the town's history, though it's a nice story.Skookum1 (talk) 01:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Lytton receives much more precipitation. Not only that, but more falls during winter than summer, compared with Lillooet, so one would this this would lower evaporation. Is this an error? Alex of Canada (talk) 07:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lytton is semi-arid while Lillooet is not? 

message: Hello, in light of the current fire there is an edit warring about whether Lytton town should be marked as present or past tense. Multiple IPs recently changing sentences to past tenses such as was, sat, etc which misleading readers that the town is destroyed. Should the town be marked as "is" or "was"? 180.242.14.83 (talk) 08:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: "Is". It's too early to tell how much was destroyed. Also, it's likely that many of the burned buildings will be rebuilt. Geordie (talk) 19:09, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request: Current event 

message: Please reverting one edit done by  because the user is deliberately changing the tense from "is" (present tense) to "was" (past tense) on Lytton town, which implied that the town was destroyed. It is should be discussed on talk page to make consensus. 180.242.14.83 (talk) 07:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

message: hello i was just wondering if the info i added about bourke new australia and how it was only .1 C hotter then what was recorded at lytton is ok? if its not me or someone else can revert it
:I did partially revert the edit. The reason was that the source never mentioned about it to Lytton's climate. Generally, avoid comparing climates to other locations because usually, they are arbitrary and are usually unsourced synthesis, meaning they are considered to be original research per WP:OR unless a secondary source explicitly mentions it.
