HALIFAX – A record temperature was broken in the city today, with the mercury rising to 28.9 degrees Celsius – about 10 C above normal.
“September has been really beautiful so far, the weather has been really great, so we’ve been getting a lot of customers. It’s been nice,” said Robin Cummings, a supervisor at Black Bear Ice Cream Emporium.
The ice cream parlour and many other businesses along the waterfront reported better than average sales.

“I’d rather it be snowing right now,” said construction worker Cody Blackburn.
