Today’s Weather Trivia:
7 September 2005: In eastern Canada, warm, dry spells, with the odd heavy rain, were ideal for mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus. Of 3,988 dead birds checked for it, 447 (11%) tested positive, as did 21 horses. (Less than 12% of people get seriously ill.) In 2005, there were 225 clinical cases, with 12 deaths, but in 2006, 29 cases and no deaths. The record was 2002, with 1,388 cases and 14 deaths. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
