A heat warning is in effect for multiple N.W.T. communities. Senior climatologist Dave Phillips said there are many factors that impact weather conditions but that global warming is intensifying the heat wave and elongating its duration.

In 2017 no heat warnings were issued in the territory.In 2019 there were warnings issued for communities in the South Slave and parts of the Dehcho region from July 17-25, however in 2020 heat warnings stretched as far north as Sachs Harbour, Ulukhaktok, Paulatuk, Tuktoyaktuk, Aklavik and Inuvik, in addition to Tłı̨chǫ and South Slave region communities.

"We also know that areas in the North are affected by climate change much more than other parts of the country," she said. "So, perhaps climate change is playing a greater role and we're seeing that in these warmer temperatures."He said what's important is the duration of the heat warnings. "I don't think there's been a place in Canada this summer that can say they've had more than five days above 30 degrees."

"That dome is now north of the Arctic Circle and it's sitting right over ... Inuvik and Aklavik and Norman Wells," he said, adding that the dome sits over parts of the Yukon as well. Brown said there's no air conditioners available to purchase anywhere in town, so he's trying "to relax as much as possible."wearing loose fitting clothing, staying hydrated, closing curtains to avoid the sun, taking cool showers and visiting air conditioned buildings when possible.

North Defund CBC

North Yea.. no one cares

North The climate has changed in the north dramatically. That's climate change. Why continue to stoke debate & doubt?

North Can you send it out west? Cool wet summer so far, after very long cold winter😨

The hotter the world the better!

Of course climate is changing . It’s been changing for thousands of years . What I’m disputing is the cause .

The climate always changes. Stop with the man-made climate alarmism fraud

The earth is changing as it always has, humans can’t nor should try to control it.

Look it’s cold outside Answer: global warming Look it’s too hot Answer : global warming Look it’s ….. Answer: global warming After awhile people start figuring out it’s not always global warming and there’s an agenda here

That’s it CBC keep pumping out the climate fear mongering narrative Keep the sheep scared

Sure it is 🙄

I own a hvac company, in Ontario we are having a cooler then average summer and it is hurting the cooling side of the business. Your “global warming” seems to be false

Those poor people. To experience summer-like weather for a couple of days must be terrifying. I am glad you wrote this article up CBC. I feel more informed by the state broadcaster.

🙄

Records have been broken and set for the last 200 years +

What a pile of crap.

Sure sure cbc article minions at it again gues they have to be at liberals becon call and no push backs either good little Peggy's do as they get paid for

Heat wave? Where?

🤣🤣🤣 your 'opinion' piece means zip. Conjecture by the climate cult is overdone, exaggerated and boring.

How about those chem trails all over Vancouver. Got them up there too?

Awesome, send some of that GW down to Vancouver. It’s been one of the coldest spring/early summers in many years.

Why does it get hotter in the summer? Climate change.

Nobody believes you talking about global warming. You’ve beat that one to death and we’re tired of being taxed for it

So weird, from Goldstream BC, currently 14C, temp did not rise above 18 Celsius today.
