  1. A May heat wave has produced another record-breaking day of temperatures across Manitoba.

    According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), 13 Manitoba communities set new heat records on Tuesday.

    It was also the third straight day of new heat records in Deerwood and Pilot Mound, and the second consecutive day of record-setting heat in Altona, Carman, and Winnipeg.

    Carman had some of the balmiest conditions in the province. The mercury reached 37.0 C on Tuesday, surpassing its previous record of 33.9 set in 1932.

    Winnipeg had a similarly sweltering day with a high of 37.0 C, breaking its previous record of 33.3 C set a whopping 125 years ago.

    The biggest spike over the previous record was recorded in Gimli. Temperatures there hit a high of 36.2 C, handily surpassing the previous record of 28.9 C set in 1960.

    Meanwhile, the majority of record-breaking communities on the list – Altona, Deerwood, Dominion City, Pilot Mound, Pinawa, Pine Falls, and Portage la Prairie – broke records previously set in 1977.
