We had a very warm day here yesterday with temps reaching to near +30C.The
official temps were much lower,as they always are at this time of the
year,because they are taken on the coast even though they are reported
as being the Liverpool temps.Temps remained very mild through the evening
and were still near 20C at midnight.A drop of a few degrees happened through
the overnight hours.
Today is expected to be another very warm day here in Liverpool and the
highs will again be near 30C.A few showers are expected tomorrow and then
it's back to sunshine for most of the long holiday weekend.

Today's Weather Trivia:
1915: Heavy rains in Edmonton caused the North Saskatchewan River to
overflow its banks. The river rose 11 m above the low-level mark and drove
nearly 2,500 residents from their homes, destroying 60 houses and a lumber
company. Chicken coops, barns, and shacks were swept away. Authorities saved
the half-built 105th Street bridge by parking 14 railroad coal cars over the
superstructure.
