Today’s Weather Trivia:
4 December 1953: Unusually phenomenal weather, more benefiting May than the Christmas season, occurred on Manitoulin Island (ON). Pansies were picked in some gardens, and fields were plowed that week. Another unusual happening for this time of year was a very brilliant rainbow, following a sudden shower. Its colours were vibrant and it was visible for quite a few minutes. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
