What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[MonctonRad]

Official Environment Canada temperature for Moncton is 33C at 4 PM. My car however is telling me it is 36C. I tend to believe my car. It's a scorcher out there........

Longest winter of my life followed by the worst summer. The past three seasons are so bad it feels like there should be global solidarity from a volcanic eruption or something. But It's just us. It really must be the Greenland icemelt cooling the Labrador sea/slowing the AMOC.

It is funny (sorry for the choice of words) seeing New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI basking beautiful hot summer weather... but its 11 degrees and drizzle in St. John's.

Cooler today in Moncton with a high of 27C, but very humid and muggy. The humidex was a stifling 36.

We went down to Fort Beausejour/Fort Cumberland National Historic Park in Aulac NB this morning for the 250th anniversary celebration of the Eddy Rebellion/Battle of Fort Cumberland in 1776.



I felt sorry for the reenactors in their heavy woolen historically accurate 18th century military costumes. It must have been brutal for them marching into the fort, doing drills and doing musketry demonstrations.

This battle is little known in the rest of Canada, but, if Johnathon Eddy had successfully taken the fort, there would have been a real risk that all of Nova Scotia (which included NB at that time), could have fallen to the American threat. Nova Scotia has often been referred to as the "14th colony." This battle was a seminal event in the history of our country.

Fun fact. former PM Stephen Harper's 8th or 9th times great grandfather was a Yorkshire settler in nearby Sackville NB and helped in the defence of Fort Cumberland against the revolutionaries.

Muggy as hell again today. Southern Ontario had some big storms roll through, and at least 2 unconfirmed tornados. I believe one near Lindsay and one near Woodstock.

We didn't have any tornadic activity but we did have a massive amount of rain in an extremely short period of time. About 50 mm worth in an hour.



Progressively darkened

[Nicko999]

29C with a humidex of 37 and a mix of sun and clouds. Thunderstorm around 6PM but the bulk of it was just north and south of the island. We had some rain and lightning but nothing nothing worth noting.

Low of 23C (humidex of 32) this morning. I just felt last night that it was extra warm even by our high nighttime summer standard.

This August has been Bermudian esque so far. No high officially above 30C and lows staying above 20C.

Warmspot was Lytton, BC at 35.6C.

Warmest low yesterday was Beauport, QC at 22.8C.

[MonctonRad]

23C (humidex 31) in Moncton at 11 AM and mostly cloudy, going up to 27C (humidex 36) this afternoon with a risk of showers and thunderstorms.


Boardwalk on the bank of the Petitcodiac River (St. Amselme neighbourhood of Dieppe) last evening.
