Today’s Weather Trivia:
6 July 1913: In Montreal, QC, 34°C heat caused 2 people to die; many others were hospitalized for heatstroke. Thousands left the city, seeking relief, and those remaining crowded into parks and other recreation and amusement areas. At one park, near panic ensued when a small long-haired dog became agitated by the heat and ran through the crowd, yelping and snapping. A cry of "mad dog" was raised. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
