UPEI faculty member launches new PEI weather and climate almanac on June 26
A new book by Don Jardine, a sessional instructor with the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation, will be launched on Thursday, June 26, at 7 pm, on the second floor of the Confederation Court Mall, 134 Kent Street, Charlottetown. 
In Prince Edward Island ~ Epekwitk ~ Climate Almanac: A Weather and Climate Almanac of the Smallest Province in Canada, Jardine documents the important weather phenomena that have shaped PEI’s history since climate facts have been recorded or observed.
He has written an invaluable month-to-month guide to the changing weather patterns of PEI and their effect on the landscape. The book includes amazing weather stories for which the province is famous—from devastating hurricanes to blizzards that have shut down the Island for days. Complete with maps, photos, and tables, it is an essential reader for those interested in weather, climate change, and Island history.
Jardine grew up on a family farm in Freetown, PEI, which helped to shape his interest in weather, climate, history, natural history, climate change, and photography. This interest led to research for several years into the past, present, and future weather and climate events in the province, and the publication of five editions of the "Prince Edward Island Weather Trivia Calendar" with Dr. Adam Fenech, well-known climate change expert and an associate professor in the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation, from 2015 to 2019.
Prince Edward Island ~ Epekwitk ~ Climate Almanac: A Weather and Climate Almanac of the Smallest Province in Canada is published by Acorn Press. The book launch is hosted by The Bookmark. All are welcome to attend.
