Today’s Weather Trivia:
17 August 2005: Summer in Canada's northeastern boreal forest was the second warmest in nearly 60 years (+1.6°C). In Québec, dry weather, high temperatures, and lightning caused almost 2½ times the average area for the past 10 years to burn. In British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, cooler temperatures and the second wettest summer in over 50 years meant the fewest number of fires in 10 years. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
