Discussion.

At 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 29th, ECCC issued a severe thunderstorm 

watch for much of mainland Nova Scotia. At 2:36 p.m. a severe 

thunderstorm warning was issued for a storm over central Nova 

Scotia. At approximately 2:45 p.m. severe winds, likely resulting 

from a microburst, damaged trees and some buildings in the Stewiacke 

area, including the total destruction of a barn. 

A remote survey of the damage has indicated that straight line winds 

likely gusted to 115 km/h. Locally higher wind gusts, possibly 

exceeding 150 km/h, are estimated to have occured in the area of the 

destroyed barn structure. 

Because of the distance from the nearest operating radars, doppler 

radar was not available to determine possible tornadic activity. 

However, the damage pattern appears to be more consistent with that 

of a straight line wind storm. 

The following area set a daily maximum temperature record on June 

30, 2021: 

Kejimkujik (National Park) Area (Kejimkujik 1) 

New record of 33.5 

Old record of 31.9 set in 1997 

Records in this area have been kept since 1966 

Note: the temperature record reported here has been derived from a 

selection of historical stations in this geographic area that were 

active during the period of record.
