People across Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada continued to enjoy unseasonably warm temperatures Saturday, with temperatures expected to break records in many places for a second day in a row.
"We haven't seen temperatures like this since last September," said Kalin Mitchell of the CBC News weather centre.
"We're seeing record breaking temperatures again today across Eastern Canada," he said.
Temperatures were expected to reach a high of 29 C in Ottawa, 25 C in Toronto, 27 C in Montreal, and 21 C in Moncton and Halifax.
These are "unprecedented, record-setting temperatures," Environment Canada's senior climatologist Dave Phillips told CBC News on Friday.
"We're seeing temperatures that are more like what you'd expect on the long weekend in July — Canada Day as opposed to Easter weekend. It is clearly, only one way of describing this: spectacular."
Still, Mitchell warned that the weekend could close on a cooler and, at times, cloudier note.
"There is a little bit of a cool-down is coming for Sunday, but it will still be unseasonably warm," he said.
