Lows continue in Baker Lake

Three times this month, Baker Lake has recorded a record low temperature. Last Thursday’s record low took over 50 years to break, according to Environment Canada.

The previous record low of .9 C. for Baker Lake on that date was set in 1946, the year observations started in the community. A new minimum of .3 C. was also set on July 25, breaking the former low record of 1.2 C set in 1990.
