Today’s Weather Trivia:
9 August 2008: With a soaking of 26.2 mm today, Toronto, ON, officially recorded its wettest summer on record: 354.2 mm of rain at Pearson Airport from 1 June to 9 August. And there were still three weeks to go! It had rained 41 of the past 71 days. But Toronto had only 9 smog days, compared to 24 the previous summer. The Big Smoke became the Big Wet. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
