Many in New Brunswick saw a glowing spiral in the sky last night — not aliens, but the Ariane 6 rocket venting fuel high above Earth! 🌌
Tune in to Shift NB on CBC Radio One between 4:00–4:15 p.m. to hear how this stunning phenomenon lit up our skies.

Heavy rain + winds howling like werewolves for Halloween.
The good news is, many folks will see the heaviest rain ending BEFORE the kids head out trick or treating.

Per Jeremy, the Hurricane Hunters had to leave early, but still "captured some historic data including the 893mb center drop, cementing #Melissa as the 3rd most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic. Mission for the ages."
I was worried for my crew mates when I saw them circling in the eye for over 20 mins. Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min.

Rivers are running low and some wells are going dry due to the ongoing drought in the Maritimes.
Now the clock is ticking on replenishing the water table, before the ground freezes this winter. youtu.be/Dt9xxrSiQrU?...

September 2025 was the third warmest on record in the Berkeley Earth dataset. But this downplays how anomalous it was; without 2023 and 2024 this year would have been well above any prior records and well above the long-term trend:

One of the warmest October days on record in the Maritimes.
New October provincial record set in PEI, where Stanhope hit 28.7° & tied in NB, where Kouchibouguac hit 31.1°.
A few official stations just shy of 31.1° Oct record for NS, however some unofficial spots did exceed that mark!

Incoming cold front will shift our winds to north & usher in a fall feel over the next few days.
Apart from a few showers behind the front on Tuesday & Wednesday, it's high pressure that will dominate for the next week.
Meanwhile, Humberto and Imelda track well offshore.
