This Day in Weather History

“This Day In Weather History” is a daily podcast from The Weather Network that features unique and informative stories written and produced by host Chris Mei. Weather happens every day. It can be sunny, cloudy, stormy or maybe just unsettled, but it is always happening! It’s when severe weather strikes that it captures the attention of those affected…and the imagination of everyone else who follows the story. So it is with good reason to expect that after over a century of news and weather information gathering and record keeping, there would be a “special” weather or natural phenomena event to mark each day of a calendar. Do you remember the first recorded tornado in Canadian history? No, you don’t because none of us were there…so we dive into that! How about when Prince played the Super Bowl halftime show? It’s possibly the best performance ever for that event….and the backstory made it all the more special! Or how about the 25th Anniversary Woodstock Festival back in 1994? It’s all here – all year – in one podcast…. “This Day In Weather History”!

November 8, 2020 - Rememberance Day (Pt. 1): "War and Weather" Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

We focus a lot on a turning point in humankind; World War 1. WW1, also known as ‘The Great War’, was not only terrible in terms of loss of life but the weather conditions which the combatants faced. Just like yesterday’s episode from 1913, this story also features circumstances that were made so much worse because of the lack of communication. You see, the weather was, at times, as hard and deadly as the battles themselves. But in 1914, no one knew what the extent of it would be. We picked it up today, this day in weather history.
