Today’s Weather Trivia:
27 July 2005: Passengers who paid for a 5-night cruise, with a 2-day visit to sunny Bermuda, had to settle for swirling fog in the Maritimes. Their ship stopped in Saint John, NB, then Halifax, NS, because Tropical Storm Franklin was forecast to stir up seas around Bermuda. Said one passenger: "Instead of making a right, we made a left. Nothing against Canada, but we wanted ... a warm-weather climate." – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
