Today's Weather Trivia:
2004: Yukoners were roasting in an unprecedented heat wave. The temperature
at Whitehorse reached 33.2°C-its third warmest temperature in 62 years.
Swift River on the Alaska Highway became the hottest spot ever recorded in
the Yukon with an unofficial temperature of 37°C. Some Yukoners tried to
cool down by jumping off bridges. Stores exhausted their supply of electric
fans and ice.
