In the midst of unprecedented global heat, Canada is now facing one of the most extreme and historic heat waves in its modern record. Even typically cool provinces like Newfoundland and Labrador have been scorched by unusually high temperatures, with the thermometer climbing up to 35°C — a staggering value for the region.
One of the most remarkable records came from Badger, where 34.9°C was officially recorded, marking the highest temperature ever observed there. Other communities across the province also registered unprecedented highs, showing that even northern and coastal regions are no longer insulated from extreme heat events.
Key Points:
- 35°C in Newfoundland and Labrador – among the highest ever observed
- 34.9°C in Badger – all-time record high
- Northern and maritime climates no longer immune to extreme heat
- Adds to the growing list of climate records shattered in 2025
Canada’s participation in the global heat surge underscores the accelerating pace of climate change, where historic temperature extremes are becoming not only more frequent but geographically widespread.
