Northwestern Ontario won’t be getting much of a break from the hot weather.
The humid weather is back for a couple of more days with more warnings and alerts expected.
Bill Laidlaw of Signal Weather Services says records were shattered in most communities on Friday.
-Atikokan reached 33.5 – old mark was 32.2 set 1921
-Dryden reached 34.0 – old mark was 30.8 set 2013
-Ear Falls reached 33.7 – old mark was 31.0 set 2013
-Fort Frances reached 33.0 – old mark was 31.0 set 2010
-Kenora reached 32.3 – old mark was 31.5 set 2013 – no ice cream party due to COVID-19
-Red Lake reached 32.7 – old mark was 31.3 set 1933
-Sioux Lookout reached 34.3 – old mark was 30.6 set 1959
-Ignace hit 34.8
Only one new record was recorded on Saturday.
Sioux Lookout’s 31.8 wiped out the 31.2 record reached 32 years ago.
Laidlaw says “Might cool things off a little bit by the end of the week after Wednesday’s thunderstorms but it’s going to be short lived. I think we can expect that by the end of the month July is going to be one of these months that goes into the record books.”
