Geoff Coulson: Phillips

Environment Canada Dept: The record is in tatters, said Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson. The last record high was 28.8C, set in 2010, according to The Star. Phillips said Ontario has been receiving dry, hot winds from the southwestern U.S., instead of the more humid Mexican Gulf gusts and friday s hot temperature broke a two-year record, reaching 30.7C in the early afternoon. While Torontonians welcomed the heat by enjoying patios and pools, Environment Canada s senior climatologist Dave Phillips said he s concerned about a double whammy of hot and dry weather.
