There were record-setting high temperatures on Halloween for the Maritimes, but a cold front will return chilly autumn weather for the first weekend of November.
Record high temperatures
There was a treat for the Maritime region this Halloween as a southerly wind pushed temperatures toward record highs.
The most records were set in the province of New Brunswick where most communities reach the high-teens and low twenties. The warmest spot was St. Stephen, which reached 23.7 C.
A few records were set in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia on Thursday. The warmest spot, Kentville, reached 23 C.
Prince Edward Island fell just short of matching previous records. Those include a standing record of 20.6 C for Charlottetown and 18.3 C for Summerside. The warmest spot on P.E.I. was St. Peters at 18.9 C.
