Frost in July hits P.E.I.
Temperatures dropped to a record low in Prince Edward Island overnight Tuesday, with reports of frost throughout the province.
An official record low of 3.8 C was set early Wednesday morning at Charlottetown airport.
The previous record for that date was 5.1 C, set in 2005.
Bob Robichaud, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said that to his knowledge, frost has never been reported before in July in P.E.I.
"That 3.8 we got last night kind of sticks out as being lower than some of the other records for anytime in early July," Robichaud told CBC News on Wednesday.
"So we're looking at a significant event," he said.

For the second night in a row we are under a frost warning here in eastern Newfoundland. According to records, our St. John's average daily minimum on this date is 10.5C. It has not been this cold on this date in St. John's in 33 years. Last night's low of 3.5C is one of the lowest temperatures for any day in July since records began to be kept in 1942.
