Today’s Weather Trivia:
29 August 2004: Lightning ended a marathon ball-hockey game near Ottawa, ON, but the 32 players still broke a world record and raised thousands of dollars for charity. Although 42 minutes short of their goal, they beat the Guinness World Record by lasting 27 hours, 18 minutes. The biggest problem was enduring 30°C heat and oppressive humidity; some players suffered mild sunstroke and bad sunburn. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
