It's no secret that we just went through a September heat wave, but what you might not realize is that Monday's temperature was record-breaking in Greater Sudbury.

The previous record for the highest temperature on Sept. 17 was 27.2 C, set just three years ago, in 2015. Yesterday the temperature got up to 28.7 C, shattering that record.

New temperature records were also set in Sault Ste. Marie, Chapleau, Timmins, Petawawa and the Ottawa Airport yesterday, according to Environment Canada.

The September heat wave is now over, however, with today's temperature only expected to get up to a much more seasonal 18 C. Daily highs are predicted to hover between 13 and 20 C into the long range forecast.
