We have had a very nice summer, warm and dry. Most people come to expect the summer weather to quickly fade after Old Home Week. But not this year, as we had a record setting temperature of 30 C in Charlottetown on Sept 1.

The global warming (climate change) skeptics are unusually quiet. I heard crickets...

Charlottetown has shattered its record high temperature for Sept. 1.

The warmest temperature recorded in the Prince Edward Island capital previously was 27.8 C. Wednesday the temperature reached 30 C in late afternoon.

CBC meteorologist Peter Coade said it's not surprising that P.E.I. is setting temperature records right now given that the province has been experiencing warmer than normal weather since the winter, part of a global trend.

"January to June has been the warmest six-month period on record on the planet Earth," Coade said. "So, I would have to say that this summer has to rank up there as the warmest June, July and August as well."
