But hey, if it’s really a problem let shut down mass immigration into the metro Vancouver area. Wouldn’t want anyone to die of thirst.

22C and sunny in Moncton at noontime. A glorious day (although I am banished to a windowless room in the basement of the hospital today reading mammograms).

I wonder how high it will go???

Indeed, here's a photo I took February 6. I figure the spring season is two to three months later there.

21C (humidex of 22) and mainly cloudy. Some showers on and off but dry most of the day. Temperature wise, it was fine but conditions were not great. Gusty and dark for a big chunk of the day.

Low of 13C this morning.

The warmspot was Lytton, BC at 33.5C. That is the highest temperature this year.

Warmest low yesterday was Pam Rocks, BC at 16.2C. That is the warmest low recorded this year in the country.

Just pathetic. Forecast was 12, but we only reached 8 with cold drizzle and overcast conditions. Long term forecast is just pathetic, possibility we stay below average basically every day.

Looking down the barrel of a historically cold May, possibly worse than 2019 and 2020.

To be fair, it's been a mild winter here, and not a good one there. If it's any consolation, NL has a slightly higher fertility rate than BC.

9C and cloudy. Rainy early this afternoon. PATHETIC. The current long-term pattern that has been locked in should be all over the news as the weather event of 2026. This is a phenomenon that needs to be studied. It is beyond insanity at this point.

Low of 6C this morning and rainy.

The warmspot was Kamloops, BC at 30.4C.

Warmest low yesterday was Pam Rocks, BC at 14.5C.

Agreed Nicko, this is brutal. Just holding out hope for a warm late summer/fall due to the strong El Nino...pretty much writing off the rest of Spring and early summer.

Today is cold but at least the sun is out (for now...). Currently 7 going up to 12.

7 day: 12/15/15/14/13/14/14. Lots of rain through the week. Average here this time of year is 18-19.

We had April twice in a row last year, it looks like that will be the case again. I won't complain too much because we've had slightly above normal temperatures in March and April. Things are stalling a bit now though

My weather station

April means:
15.3 4.8 9.7

May so far:
14.2 5.2 9.4

Right now (at 10:13am) in Montreal 9c
Photos taken by my sister at 10:13am in Montreal from
"the CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal) is a major, modern university hospital in downtown Montreal, Quebec,
serving as a leading healthcare and research center. It was created by merging three hospitals,
—Hôtel-Dieu, Notre-Dame, and Saint-Luc—and features 772 beds and specialized research facilities."
