Today’s Weather Trivia:
25 July 2006: Great Lakes' water levels declined in 1998 and remain low. Lakes Huron and Michigan are 1 m lower than in 1997, some 50 cm below their 140-year average, and Georgian Bay wetlands are drying up. Recent above-average yearly temperatures have meant less winter ice and more summer evaporation. Massive freighters ran aground in Lake Huron's shallow waters, forcing ships to carry lighter loads. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
