It was a pretty good day here yesterday with temps near 20°C and lots of sunshine.The evening was generally clear with temps in the lower double digits and the smoke from the Quebec fires did not make it into our area as expected.Overnight some clouds moved into the area ahead of some much needed rain that is expected to start later and last through the day.

Since today is the 1^st day of June,here's some June trivia from the Farmer's Almanac:

June, named for the Roman goddess Juno, patronness of marriage and women, is a month embraced by brides and gardeners, schoolchildren, and strawberry growers.

June offers the most hours of daylight of any month of the year.

Today's Weather Trivia:

June 1,1901: Soon after a homesteader built a log cabin in Priddis, AB, a whirlwind lifted its roof and top row of logs and set them down on the ground. When the man and his brother woke up, they could see the stars and got up to see what happened. The possible tornado also destroyed a curling rink and a granary. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
