RECORD HIGHS MARCH 2012

[combellack]

Cyclenall, while i am unfamiliar with the variations in Toronto's climate i have seen very similar differences around Kingston, the cold air off the lake can make a major and lasting difference. I am a horticulture guy and often in the early spring driving just 30 km north from Kingston can be like driving from early march to late April when it comes to the development of plants and what has started growing. Was the wind off the lake on the day that only made it to 11.5?

[CrazyC83]

I'm sure more all time records will be broken today. Will anywhere hit 90 though?

I didn't hear anything about the wind causing it. Those people that were ripped must really have been bummed and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Here are some tweets from Chris St Clair of TWN:

* cstclair1's -- Numbers - statistically - the temp in Winnipeg today (+28) vs average temp of 0 for mid March makes this anomaly a 1 in 1000 year event!

* cstclair1's -- More Statistics - if we average the high temps in SW ONT this March against previous years - this will be the warmest March ever in SW ONT!

No one has hit 90 yet in this heat wave though? It will be interesting to see if that happens.

[SaskatchewanScreamer]

If Winnipeg hits +28 tomorrow ( they have an average temp of 0 for this time of year) it will make it an anomaly of a 1 in a 1000 year event according to what I heard Chris St. Clair of the Weather Network say.

They should also be warmer than the Cayman Islands.

I saw Fort Frances was the hot spot again today, it appeared to get to 27C there (which is 80F) so I'm guessing that too is a 1 in a 1000 year event. (though when I just checked now I saw that it hit +26 so will be interesting to see what the official recorded temp is).

*****Meanwhile my daughter and SIL are down in California and there they might stay for awhile given that most of the States they'd have to travel through to get back home are currently having snow storms. Was amazed to see even Flagstaff Arizona is having a blizzard. As is their home town in Alberta (oh what an incredible LOAD of snow Medicine Hat is forecasted to get given that they were in Canada's hot spot area for so long this spring).

[Nicko999]

23C in Montreal... earliest 20C+ day ever!!! Previous record was on March 28th in 1945 and 1946 at 25.6C and 21.7C respectively.

Also the warmest winter day ever recorded here.

27C/81F today in my backyard. It felt more like a Florida vacation.

Same here, I actually got hot outside like I do during the middle of summer. Another thing that has amazed me (that's been non-stop for a week now, the amazed part) is how every single aspect of summer has fully emerged save the air conditioner but that's not really required for summer anyways.

both Ottawa and Geraldton near 9 degrees above normal WOW
Mark

You mean above the previous record. Something I noticed from that list you posted was more and more of these records are breaking older records that aren't really so old like from 2010 or so forth. When you start to see that trend then you have to ask is this progressive.

I checked Fort Frances, Ontario and the almanac isn't quite as impressive as Winnipeg's but what really is interesting is how at 6:00 pm it was still 25ºC with sunny conditions ( ) and even later at night at 8:00 pm its 22ºC!! Seriously that is nuts. The low will be a cozy 18ºC or so and the low would still beat the daytime record by a few degrees set back in 1918 .

[combellack]

Cyclenall Thanks for the correction that is what i meant, the day was 22 deg above normal

[Cyclenall]

To tropicana, you probably already know this but Fort Francis ON is not on the March 18th list. The additional 12 Ontario records are still not listed for March 17 (are they too small or unknown?). Places like Owen Sound, Mount Forest, Hanover, Goderich, and Kincardine Ontario all have broken records in the last 5 days or so. It's harder to get good info on these locations but for sure Owen Sound broke one yesterday and Kincardine broke the record on March 15th and 17th.

Traverse City MI 82F **Tie ALL time March record Mar 17 2012/1910**

First time seeing these types where yesterday is competing with today for all timers .

i know cyclenall, it's just so hard to get the canadian data...its not as easy as it is to get the US data.... they dont make it easy... either some official stations don't actually report..like Owen Sound.... officially they take the measurements from the nearby Wiarton Airport which is located just to the NW of Owen Sound. My lists could never be complete, even with the US data. Its just too many, i need a march break after this warm spell is over LOL

keep posting the tweets, love those.

[SaskatchewanScreamer]

from under an article about Manitoba's weather at the Weather Network:


"Can't believe I'm waking up to 18°C in Winnipeg this morning. Gonna bike to work in shorts and t-shirt! Pinch me, I've got to be dreaming!

Our overnight low is just as warm as our record high!"

Jeff Masters post:

Winner, SD hit 94 yesterday - amazing for that latitude!!!

Yeah I was going to post that you got your wish! What another landmark for this heat. I also find it funny that the place is called "Winner" when its the real winner for heat!

It feels like 27ºC+ in the sun today, warmest (or hottest) day yet for sure. It feels pretty humid again and thunderstorms possible today and tomorrow (that's like the 5th or 6th time now in March!).

I added more tweets from today. One of the tweets from Chris St Clair posted a link to a BBC article that says one of the UK databases for Global temperatures shows that now 2010 is the warmest year on record beating 1998!!

I don't know if it is the same for everyone but we've had record breaking heat here in Montreal with calm conditions (no wind at all).

Seems strange to DESTROY all those records without the help of gusty southern winds.
