WEATHER RECORDS

Weather records fall for second straight day in Sask.

Dec 7, 2023 | 12:19 PM

Weather records are falling like dominoes in Saskatchewan.

The province has been enjoying warm Pacific air brought in by El Niño, which has led to a lack of snow and temperatures well above freezing for much of Saskatchewan.

Environment Canada said 10 communities around the province broke all-time temperature records on Wednesday.

Among the records to fall was Estevan, which hit 9.7 C to break the Dec. 6 record set all the way back in 1907.

Here are the other communities that temperature records on Wednesday, with the previous records also included:
