Heat records set in three Alberta communities
BROOKS, AB – It may be near the end of December, but it certainly does not feel like winter in many parts of Alberta.
Environment Canada reports that three communities in the province had their warmest December 28ths on record.
Brooks got the warmest with a daily maximum temperature of 13.3 degrees Celsius. That barely inched past the previous record of 13.2 set in 1999.
In Onefour, a research substation in the southeastern corner of Alberta, it got as hot as 12.4 degrees, surpassing the 1956 record of 12.2.
