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. http://climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=CA&StationID=955&Year=1941&Month=7&Day=24
I found this on the Weather Network: "The highest temperature recorded in Canada is 45°C at Midvale and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan. This happened on July 5, 1937."
I could only find a maximum of 42.2 C at [1]. 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.

I have reclassified Lytton as Csb... Lytton may get some heatwaves, but the July and August average temperature is below 22C. I don't believe anywhere in W. Canada has a monthly average temp. of or above 22C. 24.108.58.1 ( talk) 01:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
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.

I agree that much of the information about Edward Bulwer-Lytton is not about the town and properly belongs in the article MP novelist. A sentence or two about the debate would be appropriate because it is relevant to the town. Humphrey Tribble ( talk) 19:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
A separate history section should not exist since the whole content of every article is in fact history. As first raised almost 13 years ago, the history of Lytton continues to receive little coverage anywhere in the article, not even in terms of the obvious, the fire history, which would rate as one of the worst in the BC interior. The first chapter of "Reflections: Thompson Valley Histories" deals wholly with the numerous Lytton fires up to the 1990s. The development of the general community from 1858 onward is not mentioned. The demographics is merely a 2021/2016 comparison, whereas population census data is available online back to 1921. No local history is provided on the two railways which pass through the locality. No links have been inserted to Lytton CNR Fraser Bridge and Lytton CNR Thompson Bridge (articles which themselves are unsupported by citations). The whole Lytton article needs proper research, useful structuring, and a rewrite of most of the content, otherwise the fundamental deficiencies are likely to still exist in another decade's time.

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)
Closer to rain forest ecosystem on coast? Just a semi-informed guess. The terrain along 12 between them is mountain valley ranchland. No question Lytton is semi-arid. High desert. Possibly the discrepancy has to to with the temperatures in summer Elinruby ( talk) 05:42, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
the debate above about who has the hottest temperature in all of Canadian history might be finally settled today, as Lytton has just hit 45.5C, and with more hours to spare in the afternoon, the temperature may yet rise even higher. i'll put this in if nobody else does. — Soap — 21:57, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
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)
The town should be marked as "is". It is still a town. Jolty ( talk) 17:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
No question. The town is still there. Only the building burnt. Humphrey Tribble ( talk) 19:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
The downtown is gone. However it is still incorporated as a village and no question will be rebuilt Elinruby ( talk) 09:54, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Please reverting one edit done by NickkkkBozekk 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)
done, I agree it should stay "is" unless the government changes it. It's only speculation at this point what the future is. Charlesmartin82 ( talk) 07:24, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi, a current photo would be appropriate. If possible the same camera location and field of view as the photo in the infobox. The photo should be placed in commons.wikimedia.org and can then be cited in this Lytton article. Regards, ... PeterEasthope ( talk) 14:01, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
When the area is open to the public. Several such photos exist but who knows about use rights. One was taken by a fire-fighter, for example, and posted on social media. As far as I know there are no news photos. The roads into Lytton are currently closed to anything but fire relief Elinruby ( talk) 05:46, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
The two sources provided do not support that statement. -- Zaurus ( talk) 21:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
