Nearly a dozen temperature records were broken in B.C. Sunday as parts of the province experienced a warm fall weekend.

Preliminary data from Environment Canada showed 11 areas set new records for high temperatures Sept. 25 and many of them were decades old.

The temperature records that were broken, according to Environment Canada, include:

In Metro Vancouver, high temperatures are expected to hover around 20 C for most of the week, except on Wednesday when it's predicted to be rainy with a high of 17 C.

Earlier this month, forecasters with the Weather Network predicted B.C.'s fall season would start warm and dry, but change to a much wetter weather pattern in October and November.

"A typical number of fall storms and rainy days are expected, but this should result in above-normal precipitation totals as moisture-laden systems will bring the risk for excessive rainfall at times," the Weather Network's fall prediction for B.C. said.

"Near-normal temperatures at the end of the season should also allow the ski season to get underway relatively on time."
