Northwesterly winds of 70 km/h  gusting to 90 km/h are expected for a brief period over exposed areas of the northern Strait of Georgia and near Juan de Fuca Strait late this afternoon.

Winds will diminish slightly, but remain strong through the evening on East Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast.

In the Greater Victoria region, the strong winds will ease overnight as the front moves into the Interior.

The warnings come a day after many parts of B.C. set temperature records. In all, five temperature records were broken, including in Victoria, which broke a record set back in 1879.
