Today’s Weather Trivia:
June 23,2005: Residents of Winnipeg, MB, dripped perspiration as the day's near-record humidex climbed, before breaking into a merciful thunderstorm around 5:00 PM. Citizens appeared exhausted and cranky. Medical personnel warned seniors, pregnant women, small children, and those with existing medical conditions to use special caution to prevent cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.– Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
