It is hot in northern Quebec. August 28, 2019.
Several temperature records were broken yesterday.
Several regions of Nord-du-Québec and the Côte-Nord broke heat records yesterday, exceeding seasonal norms by more than ten degrees Celsius.

Inukjuak, a village on Hudson Bay, recorded a temperature of 22.1 degrees Celsius yesterday, when the previous record for August 27 was 19.4 degrees Celsius in 2008.
At La Grande-4 dam, the mercury recorded 27.4 degrees Celsius, while the old 2005 record was 26.5 degrees Celsius.
Finally, it was 23.8 degrees Celsius at Blanc-Sablond, in the far east of the North Shore, 4.4 degrees more than the previous record in 2008.
INTENSE SYSTEM
‘’ There was a good high pressure over Quebec and a fairly intense system also in Ontario which is heading towards Hudson Bay. All this created a pressure gradient water bringing air from the south to the far north of Quebec ‘’, explained to the Journal Antoine Petit, meteorologist at Environment Canada.
These temperatures exceed by more than 10 degrees for all of these regions.
The weather phenomenon of the past few days is not representative of the summer that took place in the north of the province.
‘’ It was a bumpy summer for northern Quebec. Nice, pretty cold days, "said Environment Canada's meteorologist.
RECORDS EACH YEAR
Furthermore, associating this recent warm period with climate change would be premature, Mr. Petit said.
‘’ We’ll have to study this a lot more on a large scale. Heat records happen every year. ''
The inhabitants of these localities cannot hope to see this heat persist.
"A cold front should set in over the next few days and we will return to much more seasonal temperatures, see below normal levels," said Petit.
Some communities in the far north of Quebec may even see their first snowflakes over the weekend.
