As the unseasonable heat and humidity continues, more daily high temperature records are being broken in the Maritimes.

Just after noon, record high temperatures were surpassed in Moncton, N.B., and Charlottetown, P.E.I., among other sites in the region.

Dozens of new daily high temperature records for a June 19 were set in the Maritimes on Wednesday. Bathurst set a new daily high temperature record of 37.6 C, which was also the hottest reported temperature in the country from weather stations monitored by Environment Canada. The 37.6 C is also unofficially the hottest June temperature reported in Bathurst with records going back to 1872.

Heat Warnings continue on Thursday for all three Maritime provinces.

A cold front crosses the Maritimes north to south Thursday night into Friday morning.

The front will allow for less humid air to filter in from the north, easing both temperature and humidity levels for most of the Maritimes on Friday. It will still be plenty warm, just down from the peak of Wednesday and Thursday.
