How about that heat? I think this daytime highs map of Ontario speaks for itself. Today was a scorcher. Records were shattered across the province today and heat alerts were issued in some of the bigger centers. So did we break a record in Peterborough? Just check out the image below...
Well...we didn't exactly smash the previous record out of the park but considering the year that old record was set, that's still pretty cool (or hot I guess). The record was still broken and keep in mind these records do not show what it actually felt like. With the humidity it felt closer to 40 than 30 today in Peterborough. So was this the hottest temperature recorded in May? No...far from it. That record still stands at 35 degrees set on May 30th in 1895. Let's hope we never break that one.
