But but climate change isn't real
This is scary. Victoria, BC is one of the mildest cities in Canada. Alert is in Nunavut and is near the North Pole.
Weather watchers are focused on the world's most northerly community, which is in the middle of a record-breaking heat wave.
"It's really quite spectacular," said David Phillips, Environment Canada's chief climatologist. "This is unprecedented."
The weather agency confirmed that Canadian Forces Station Alert hit a record of 21 C on Sunday. On Monday, the military listening post on the top of Ellesmere Island had reached 20 C by noon and inched slightly higher later in the day.
Alert was warmer both days than Victoria, B.C., a Canadian go-to for balmy climes.
