As near as I can tell, wherever it's the hottest is nowhere near where you are.

Had to drive to Abbotsford Monday for a hydraulic part, passed this wildfire at the top of the mountain precisely at Hells Gate canyon. Temp was 32C. That whole Fraser River Valley from Hope to Lytton is a gigantic tinder box, and it has been struck repeatedly with enormous wild fires year after year.
The entire Okanagan is in extreme drought and extreme fire danger, and that’s an understatement.

Probably not that entire distance. Cloud formations come in from the west (Pacific), and if they aren't high enough to pass over the mountains, they bottleneck and concentrate at the head of the Fraser Valley, which is Hope. (Travel through during a rainstorm sometime so you can experience the torrential downpours along the part of the highway that is right beside the mountains west of Hope.) From there and a ways further into the passes (Hwy 1, 3, and 5), things generally are not as dry as eastwards. Lytton, however, is a hot spot - has ever been thus. If I had to roughly pick a transition point from reasonably wet to unreasonably dry, I'd nominate Boston Bar. From there eastwards the low country (valleys) are and look parched, but the high plateau is not as extreme.
The underlying chief factor is probably the same as everywhere else in NA - several decades worth of modern era fire suppression. Atypically high temperatures (with or without seasons of less precipitation) just pulls forward and concentrates some of the fires that are going to happen soon enough anyways.

Huh. Eby's government should legislate wildfire bans.
