Atikokan hit 15.6C. The old record, set in 1969 was 13.3. Dryden, Kenora, and Red Lake also enjoyed strikingly warm weather. Dryden beating a record set in 1931.

And Sioux Lookout almost made it to the list - they got to 13.7, the old record was 13.9 set 1969.

Signal Weather services' Bill Laidlaw says that we should see another round of records broken today, but the weather will start to change drastically by tomorrow.

"There's a weak cold front coming out og Maintoba that's going to slide across us tomorrow. With that, temperatures start to drop and we'll be down to zero by suppertime."
