BREAKING RECORDS

We broke a record during TORONTO's 3-day heat wave, believe it or not.

First off, on Tuesday we reached a high of 33.8C. The record was set in 1975 with a temperature of 36.1C. We did, however managed to exceed the 2006 reading of 33.7C. Wednesday's temperature was at 34C. The record was set for 36.7 in 1995, while the 2006 reading was at 36.6C. So, compared to the past few years, Wednesday was cool.

Thursday was the record that we broke. We reached a high of 35C. The new record was Thursday (2007) at 35C. The old record was actually set in 2006 at 34.3C. Congratulations Toronto!

Later tonight around 9:00 pm (EST), I will have your long weekend Civic Holiday forecast and how it plays out. So check back.

Email me with your scorchering summer stories at city.weather@yahoo.ca . I will post them sometime next week.


Keep cool!
