                                                 The residents of a village in Canada’s British Columbia province have been ordered to evacuate after a wildfire sparked by the country’s hottest-ever temperatures ripped through homes and other buildings.    

On Wednesday evening, Mayor of Lytton Jan Polderman issued an evacuation order after a high of 49.6C (121.1F) was registered there on Tuesday – a new record for Canada.

“It’s dire. The whole town is on fire,” Polderman told CBC News after asking all residents to move to a “safe location.”

“It took, like, a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere,” he added.

Starting on Sunday, Canada, and some areas of the US, including Portland, have been blasted by a heatwave.

Hundreds of people have died amid the rising temperatures, including in British Columbia, which has registered 486 deaths in the past five days, compared to its usual 165 fatalities at this time of year.

The province’s wildfire service said it had responded to the blaze in Lytton and confirmed on Thursday that there were four general clusters of multiple wildfires across British Columbia.

“Ground crews, helicopters, air tankers, members from volunteer fire departments, and heavy equipment have responded and will continue to do so over the coming days,” it said in a statement.

Before the scenes in Lytton, at least three major wildfires were burning in British Columbia, with 26 blazes having started between Tuesday and Wednesday alone.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed a new hottest-ever temperature in mainland Antarctica, suggesting the result is in line with global warming data observed by the agency.

The new high of 18.3C (65F) was registered at the Esperanza Research Station on February 6, 2020, the UN agency said on Thursday as it officially recognized the new record.

It beats the icy continent’s previous record high of 17.5C (63.5F), which was recorded at Esperanza back on March 24, 2015.

The station is located on the Antarctic Peninsula, the northernmost tip of Antarctica, near South America.
