You may have noticed a bit of a chill this morning (Wednesday) in Prince George as temperatures dipped below the freezing mark.
It reached -1.1 degrees in the northern capital but it was not a record-breaker.
Environment Canada Meteorologist, Carmen Hartt told MyPGNow.com you have to go back over 100 years for the coldest morning temperature.
“It does look like we are going to tie the fifth-coldest temperature for this particular day, which was in 1951 when it also reached minus 1.1 but the lowest temperature for the morning of May 27th was -3.3 set back in 1914.”
“It’s kind of interesting because it’s often when we have the warmer, sunnier days that we see those cold nights.”
Hartt said sunny days with warm temperatures often end up with clear nights where the heat radiates from the earth, which causes the surface to cool down.
However, daily highs are predicted to range between 18 and 22 degrees from now until Saturday.
Hartt stated the overnight lows should be a tad bit warmer after dropping below the freezing mark due to some increased cloud cover.
“It might be enough to keep those temperatures a little bit warmer on the positive side of zero for the next few nights.”
