Today’s Weather Trivia:
5 July 1937: In Weyburn, SK, it reached an all-time unofficial high of 45°C. An egg broken on the pavement evaporated before it could cook. In stores, chocolates and other perishables melted and gramophone records turned to wax. A Regina poultry producer's son saved 120 hens from suffocating by hosing them down at the last minute. Car radiators boiled over and rubber tires softened and went flat. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
