First 30-degree temperatures of 2025 recorded in the Maritimes
A ridge of very warm air that built out of the southern United States sent temperatures soaring on Wednesday in parts of the Maritimes.
A number of locations in northern New Brunswick had their first 30-degree temperatures of 2025. At Environment Canada monitored weather stations, 30 degrees was reach in Edmundston, Bathurst, and Miramichi. All those sites are also setting new daily high temperature records for a May 14.
Viewers – such as Marjorie Ferguson from Flatlands, N.B. – sent in personal weather station measurements of 30 degrees. Thank you to those who take time to e-mail a report or observation of weather in their area.
Many other high temperatures in New Brunswick reached the mid-to-high 20s on Wednesday. High temperatures in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island climbed into the high teens and low 20s, but remaining more moderate on parts of the coast.
Thursday Weather
Very warm, even hot for some areas, May weather across the region on Thursday.
The ridge is squarely over the region on Thursday. A very warm to hot day should be expected region wide, except for the Bay of Fundy coastline in New Brunswick and the Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia. For those coastal areas a southwest wind is expected to be more onshore and will moderate the temperatures.
Expect widespread high temperatures in the low-to-mid 20s on Thursday. Some reaching the high 20s, with the odd community in northern New Brunswick nearing 30. It is possible we could see further new daily high temperature records set.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms develop in northern New Brunswick Thursday afternoon and evening.

B.C. forecasters issue high water advisories for numerous Interior rivers
A woman wears a plastic poncho as rain falls in Vancouver, on Monday, September 25, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck British Columbia's River Forecast Centre has issued a high streamflow advisories for a large swath of waterways in the province. The advisory covers Interior rivers and tributaries stretching as far north as the border with Alaska and south to the Canada-U.S. border and along part of the boundary with Alberta. Forecasters say rivers are expected to rise rapidly on Thursday and Friday because of rain, with high flows potentially extending through to Sunday. The advisory says low-pressure off the Alaska and B. C. coast is expected to lead to wraparound rainfall across the Interior. It says the amount of rain expected through the weekend remains uncertain, but flows seen only every five to 20 years are possible. The centre says areas with snow remaining, in particular the Upper Fraser and Upper Columbia rivers, are already dealing with high flows due to the recent hot weather melting the snow. Much of the province is at the tail end of what Environment Canada called an 'early season heat event' that saw temperatures soar for several days, breaking records in many communities. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June, 11, 2025
