3rd straight day cracking 30°+ in Halifax!!! Hitting 30°C back to back to back is a rare feat here near the Atlantic coast. This is just the 6th time at the Shearwater site since 1944. Aug 30th to Sept 3rd (5 days) in 2010 was the warmest stretch & only run to go longer than 3 days. #nswx #halisky

Last month was the *2nd* hottest June on record for our planet. This was estimated at 1.39°C warmer than a pre-industrial (1850-1900) average. El Niño is also well underway and clearly visible in the anomaly maps. Summary from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social at climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-...

=HEAT WARNINGS CONTINUE= The heat and humidity will hold on for Friday and Saturday. Skies will remain active with scattered showers and thunderstorm chances continuing. A front will move across the region throughout Saturday and Saturday night with a much FRESHER airmass in place for Sunday!

Totals from our latest rain maker... Southwest Nova Scotia is where conditions have been driest this spring and that's where mother nature just delivered a solid soaking with 30-50+ mm. Note - Departure from average map does not include this latest round of rain. #halisky #nsstorm #nbstorm

April Numbers via ECCC Near/Above average for the first half of April - below average to finish = near average temps overall. Finally an above average precip month in NB and another near average for NW NS, where drought still lingers from 2025. AND this doesn't include latest Friday or Sunday rain.

several reports of accumulating snow. I understand that plow were needed at the Cobequid Pass last night.

35mm in the gauge this morning and at least 5cm of snow on the deck railing by the time it stopped last night.

Our back to back rain systems brought some very beneficial rain to the Maritimes. Between Thursday afternoon and Monday morning, we picked up widespread totals in the 50-80 mm range, with pockets in the 80-130 mm range for some. #halisky #nswx #nbwx

Beneficial rain tonight & Friday, but we're clearing in time for a nice Saturday in the Maritimes. Our next system arrives Sunday with more rain, gusty winds and the possibility of early May snow mixing in. Thankfully, temperatures will recover quickly and climb into mid-next week. #nswx #halisky
