What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[ciudad_del_norte]

The average high for Kamloops this time of year is around 29. The average high for Kamloops this July so far 35.9. I don't think anybody is trying to suggest it's never gotten hot in interior BC before, but it's a stretch to suggest that this current stretch of weather is just typical of a normal summer and nobody else realizes it.

We can acknolwedge interior BC has hot and dry summers and hot temperatures happen every year while also acknowledging weather like this July or the 2021 heat dome have brought heat of severity and/or duration beyond what is "normal".

Thanks so much, OldDartmouthMark. My parents ended up finding the same information, and now have someone looking at their house today for a possible installation.

This summer was the straw that broke the camel's back. Even my dad is looking for some kind of reprieve from the heat.

Not yourself, but some people just assumed that because of how further south they live compared to places like Kamloops that they must be a hotter place without actually comparing temperatures.
And yes 100% 2021 was an anomaly up until then.

I'm not sure that the 40°+ temperatures are as boast-worthy as some here seem to think they are anyway. For most people (and the environment itself), they're definitely a negative. Who actually enjoys this?

It's basically the same thing as those boasting about how we're growing by >1 million people per year. Aside from the juvenile fascination with big numbers, it's more negative than positive.

Pretty well sums it up. I've been spending summers in Kelowna for 40 years, the heat now is definitely more extreme than it used to be.

On the approach to Vancouver yesterday. Luckily the winds have blown some of the smoke away from the West Side today:

I was in Red Deer for the last few days, and the smoke was getting pretty bad there as well.
