I found a record high for January that ties what Niagara Falls, Ontario recorded. On January 2, 1918, Entrance, Alberta also recorded a record high of 22.2°C (72.0°F). I also found a Wikipedia article claiming that Pincher Creek, Alberta recorded a 22.2°C (72.0°F) high on January 10, 1962, but I've searched every Pincher Creek weather station as well as surrounding stations and checked the each 30 year climate normals from 1981-2010 to 1941-1970 and found no 72° high. There are also old news articles about this but there is no supporting data. There may still be record highs and lows not listed yet so anyone can feel free to look for more extreme temperatures. |

I have found new record highs for March, August, September, November, and a tie for a pre-existing record for December as well as a new record low for July. I have sourced everything and will upload the new data shortly.

I found a another record high tie for November; Jenner, Alberta on November 4, 1916 recorded a high of 29.4°C (84.9°F) tying Chatham, Ontario's record high. I will do one last thorough sweep through of every station with data from the 1941-1970 and 1951-1980 normals data, and I will try to find a way to bulk download more modern data from ECCC and do the same thing.

I didn't find anymore records. I think that's everything though it is possible that I might've missed something. That was a fun project to do.

Unfortunately, Bear deleted all his pictures with the records. Did anyone screenshot them?
