Ayant suivi les mesures de radiation solaire ces derniers mois à YUL et à McTavish (McGill), on voit systématiquement une chute soudaine un peu avant le coucher du soleil en été à McGill (et pas à YUL). Ça semble être le mont Royal qui cache le soleil à la station, d'où la différence selon moi.

It's a record for August (previously 21.1° in 1996), but there were a few warmer lows in the past in July. All-time warmest low is 23.3° on July 8, 1952.

Another all-time record was set today in Eastern Canada!
30.3° Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (previously 30,0° 1987/07/14)

36.3° (prelim.) in Goose Bay: New August Labrador record!
Very impressive 35.7° in Cartwright, too! August record for the station. #NLwx

We've asked a friend who works there and he said that the station is currently standing over a paved area, so it is overheating the sensor. It's a temporary setup until they repair the real station further in the field. So not a reliable temperature unfortunately!

Even hotter than yesterday in Eastern Canada!
All-time records were set at several stations, and the all-time PEI record was shattered with 38.1° at Maple Plains!
36.7° in Badger, NL tied August record for NL and all-time record for the island. 38.6° in Miramichi is 0.8° below NB all-time record. ♨️

July 2025 was a mixed bag in #Canada. Generally hotter than normal in the east, but slightly cooler in many regions. Northern Nunavut had the coldest anomalies, between 1° and 2°C below the 1991-2020 average.

May 2025 was a bit of a mixed bag across Canada. Very warm in the Prairies and parts of the north. Very cool in Yukon and adjacent NWT, and cooler than normal in northern QC and southern ON.

April 2025 was generally warmer than normal across Canada, but cooler in parts of Quebec, Northern Ontario and Manitoba, and Southern Nunavut. The month was more notable for its strong temperature swings than its overall anomaly.

March 2025 was warmer than normal for most of #Canada, except for a region extending from the NWT to Labrador, which was colder than normal. The strongest anomalies were in Northern Nunavut; up to +6.5°C for Pond Inlet.

January 2025 was warm for most of Canada. Warmest on record for Kuujjuaq and Iqaluit with an almost +11°C anomaly. The month was colder than normal in Southern Ontario and SE BC, and near normal at the northernmost point.

December 2024 was very warm across much of Canada, especially in Northern QC. Slightly above normal in the Maritimes and Southern ON/QC. Slightly below normal near the Beaufort Sea coast.

Would be even smoother if the strange Montreal December record wasn't there. The date is listed as N/A (possibly 1949) and the value is higher than the listed all-time record.
Using ECCC hourly data (since 1953), I found 1049.1 hPa (Dec 21, 1983), which is now beaten by this event's 1050.2 hPa.

Ottawa Airport peaked at a 105.04 kPa sea-level pressure this morning, setting a new all-time record for highest pressure reading.
Previous was 105.00 kPa on Feb. 13, 1981.

December records are also broken today in much of eastern ON and western QC, including Montreal and Quebec City.
