Alberta is breaking some warm weather records for the month of February, surpassing 20 degrees Celsius in some communities.
Lethbridge was a little warmer than 20 C on Thursday, breaking a monthly heat record set in 1962.
On top of the five monthly records broken, there were more than two dozen daily broken records as well.
The province is dealing with a ridge of pressure over Western Canada that is bringing in warmer air than normal.
It’s unclear how long Alberta’s warmth will last, but forecasted weather is hinting at mild conditions for the province’s south.
“Daily records fall more often than a monthly record would, but we are still seeing a very large number of daily records, so it is a pretty significant stretch of heat here,” Christy Climenhaga of Environment Canada said Friday.
