Record-breaking warmth was observed across various regions during Halloween, with Buffalo, N.Y., reaching its highest-ever temperature of 76 degrees, surpassing the previous record of 73 degrees set in 1971. Similarly, several Ontario municipalities, including Hamilton and Toronto, experienced their hottest Halloween, with Hamilton recording 24°C, significantly above the historical average. The northeastern United States, including Boston and Philadelphia, also reported near-record temperatures, with highs reaching the 80s, attributed to warm southern winds. This unusual heat wave has raised concerns about climate change trends, as well as potential fire risks due to dry conditions persisting in areas like Massachusetts. Despite the warmth, a cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures and potential rain, offering relief from the dry spell affecting parts of the Midwest and Plains under drought conditions. The widespread warmth on Halloween not only reflects a shift in climate patterns but also highlights the need for increased awareness and preparedness for extreme weather events.
