Mini Heat Wave Breaks Temperature Records

The hot and humid weather will continue for one more day.

A heat warning remains in effect for southern and central New Brunswick.

Highs could reach 32 degrees in some areas today with humidex values between 36 and 41.

New record highs were set across New Brunswick yesterday.

Environment Canada says the hot spot in the entire country on Monday was at Kouchibouguac and Bathurst which both reached 35 degrees.

Greater Moncton climbed to 33 degrees with a peak humidex of 40 which was enough to break the old record of 30 degrees from 1999.

Readings climbed to 34 degrees or higher in Caraquet, Miramichi, Fredericton, Base Gagetown and St. Stephen.

More record highs could be broken again today.

Environment Canada says all regions will cool down by tomorrow night.
