TORONTO — As Canada sweltered under a persistent bout of intense heat, weather warnings were issued Thursday from coast to coast to coast.
The weather agency says temperatures are expected to taper off in those regions by several degrees on Friday, while northern Ontario will see relief starting Thursday.
A similar warning is in place for the Fort Liard and Fort Providence regions of the Northwest Territories, where temperatures are expected to rise to low 30s by Friday or Saturday and into next week. On the East Coast, Environment Canada says a period of similarly hot temperatures is expected to start today and stretch into the weekend in New Brunswick, as well as the Churchill Falls region of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Earth’s average temperature hit an unofficial record high of 17.18 Celsius on Wednesday, matching a record set the day before, and surpassing the previous record set on Monday, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer. The series of grim milestones are not an official government record, but the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicated it would take the figures into consideration for its official calculations.
