Pre the 2021 heat wave, Castlegar had never hit 40 before, right?

Now I think they have hit it once or twice every year since then.

Or was it that they have never hit 40 before just in June?

Also today is a good day in the North Okanagan to test out the humid heat vs. dry heat debate!

In Vernon it’s now 40 with a humidex of just 42.

Yet, a 30 minute drive north in Salmon Arm it’s only 34 but with a humidex of 44.

Correct no official 40C day until we had several in a row including 43.9C June 30 21. And now yes one or two every year since. Surprisingly our first 40C day was in June and not August or July.

Plus got my first ever 40C living room day today.
40.8C
Closed all the windows and blinds in the morning to try and keep the cool air from heating up. Came home after dinner and there it was.
Guess in the long run it’s just best to keep all the windows wide open all day long which lets the breeze in when there is one.

25C with a humidex of 26 and sunny. A bit on the cooler side for mid July but nothing to complain about really.

Low of 15C this morning. Officially 14.4C so first sub 15 temperature at YUL. Downtown MTL remained above (15.6C).

The warmspot was Lytton, BC at 42.2C. What a long duration heat wave this is turning out to be in the West. Metro was complaining it was gonna be all Eastern Canada heat this year when we had ours in June. But July has definately been Western Canada's month. Just hope they don't ruin it all for the rest of us (smoke).

Warmest low was The Pas, MB at 21.0C.

For the first time in weeks we had some overcast skies but by early afternoon it cleared off and was quite pleasant for the rest of the day.

Sunday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 23 C (29 C w/Humidex), the low was 17 C.

There were some complaining, but that actually wasn't me. I was actually more informing those complaining that this June was only about a degree below seasonal and the reason why it felt so much more below seasonal was because the prior three Junes were so hot.

Sadly the smoke has started, most of it at this time is coming from the north eastern corner of BC, northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. But big fires are now starting to burn in southern BC, Washington, Oregon and other states.

Anyways, many 40+ degree readings today to rundown.

Lytton was on top with 42.2
Kamloops hit an impressive 41.6
Trail (Warfield) was 41.4
Osoyoos was 40.5
Clearwater was 40.4
Castlegar was 40.2
Vernon was 40.1
Kelowna was an impressive 40.0. There second time this year.
