CBC
If you thought it felt warmer than usual this week, you were right.
Temperatures broke decades-old records in both Summerside and Charlottetown Thursday.
Charlottetown saw 19.6 C Thursday, beating out a record of 19.4 C from back in 1963. Summerside set a record with 20.6 C, higher than the record from 1898 of 20 C.
The normal high temperature for this time of year is about 9 C.
The record breaking day capped off a string of unseasonably warm temperatures on the Island during the week.
Friday will feel colder, but it will still remain a little above normal.
"With the wind, it will feel pretty chilly," said Tina Simpkin, morning meteorologist for CBC in the Maritimes.

It will be a sunny day, and hover around 10 C for much of the Island.
Things will warm up a little through the weekend, and be mostly sunny with a few clouds. On Halloween Monday, though, Simpkin has a little caution.
"We might have to dodge some raindrops for trick or treaters on Monday," she said.
