Another round of sweltering temperatures across southern Manitoba broke another set of heat records.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), 11 communities, including Winnipeg, smashed previous records on Monday. It was also the second consecutive day of record-setting heat for a handful of those municipalities—Melita, Pilot Mound, Deerwood, Sprague, and Steinbach.

Temperatures were particularly sizzling in Carman, reaching a high of 36.2 C. That bested the town’s previous record of 33.5 C set in 1987.

Winnipeg was not far off, with a recorded high of 35.6 C, unseating the old record of 32.8 C set in 1958.

Meanwhile, Carberry, Fisher Branch, Melita, Pilot Mound, and Pinawa all broke records set back in 1977.
