Edmonton set a record on Wednesday, Feb. 4, but the city’s Thursday high of 11 C was just short of the Feb. 5 record high of 12.2 C set in 1886.

Edmonton International Airport did set another record high on Thursday, mainly because the records only go back to the mid-1960s. The high of 8.8 C on Thursday shattered the previous record high of 6.6 C set in 1991.
