Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 26, 2005: Calgary, AB, experienced its biggest butterfly boom as thousands of the painted lady species made their largest migration north in over 20 years. From 10 to 100 times more of the species occurred throughout the province this year. A butterfly expert at the Calgary Zoo explained that weather systems that brought the city so much rain in June also blew in the butterflies from the south. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
