'This is unprecedented': Alert, Nunavut, is warmer than Victoria | CBC News

Weather watchers are focused on the world's most northerly community, which is in the middle of a record-breaking heat wave.

The Canadian Forces Station at Alert in the territory of Nunavut is the most northerly permanently inhabited place on Earth. It's 2,944 miles (4,736 km) north of Chicago. At 82.501389° North latitude there are some bits of land closer to the North Pole -- but not many. Since the 1950s, CFS Alert has been serving as a communications monitoring facility and weather station.

This year Alert has been experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The average high temperature in Alert in July is 7° C (45° F). On Sunday it got up to 21° C (70° F).

This is just the latest in a series of extreme climate events around the planet. They have become more frequent and more severe over the past 40 years. While no single event points to climate change, a pattern of such events can’t be ignored.
