I was outside for this. We had ultimate frisbee practice. Not exaggerating, the temperature dropped from 75 to 45 with a single 3-second gust of wind. It was unreal Now the headlines are showing it was the single largest 1-hour temperature drop ever recorded 😅

Read this one brought cattle to their knees: On January 22, 1943, Spearfish, SD experienced a 49°F increase in two minutes and a 58°F decrease in 27 minutes due to Chinook winds.

People in Southern Alberta experience this regularly where temps can rise quickly before cooling again. Commonly referred to as a “Chinook”. Pincher Creek holds the record for largest temperature change. It went from -19C to 22C (a change of 41C or 74F) in an hour.
