For the second day in a row, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is reporting record-breaking temperatures across the West Country.
After an unseasonably warm day on Feb. 4, several more communities set new temperature records on Feb. 5.
In the Rocky Mountain House area, a high of 13.8 C was recorded, surpassing the previous record of 11.7 C set in 1963. Weather records in that area date back to 1915.
The Nordegg area also broke a long-standing record, reaching 15.8 C, well above the old mark of 11.7 C set in 1954. Records there have also been kept since 1915.
In the Sundre area, temperatures climbed to 13.1 C, breaking the previous record of 11.3 C from 1996. Records in that region date back to 1993.
Southern Alberta remained the warmest part of the province. The Milk River area reached 19.9 C on Feb. 5, while Bow Island set a Feb. 4 record the day before, hitting 20.3 C.
