Hotter than usual temperatures have arrived in the region, and may very well be record setting.
Environment Canada's Peter Kimbell says today's expected high is 28 C (82 F) and tomorrow is set at 30 C (86 F). "Those temperatures are well above normal," says Kimbell. "Normal this time of year would be a high of 19 C (66 F), so we're about ten degrees above normal and close to record territory."
The record high for tomorrow in both Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex was set in 1896 at 30.6 C (87 F). Kimbell attributes the warmer than usual temperatures to a high pressure system over the Great Lakes.
