Officially 24.6C which breaks the daily record (23.9C) from 1963.
Dewpoint was 17C this afternoon. Very comfortable. Still 19C (dewpoint of 16C) at 11PM.

Low of 11C this morning.

Warmspot was Saint-Anicet, QC at 25.8C.

Warmest low was Yarmouth, NS at 15.5C.

Sunny with a high of 20.8 today, my weather station's 141st and probably final 20+ day of the year. It clouded up after supper, and the temp is holding steady around 18 degrees.

I photographed some insects in my garden this afternoon. It's amazing how much you will see if you look closely. I really should dust off my DSLR for this type of thing, these subjects would make amazing pics with a macro lens

Ailanthus webworm moth


Differential grasshopper


Not a grasshopper, but a type of katydid (note the very long antennae)


This is not a bee, but a type of hoverfly


Also not a bee, but a dronefly


None of these are bees!


Yet another type of fly that looks like a bee


This one is a bee


Asian lady beetle


Lady bug


Possibly a yellow wooly bear


The ubiquitous wooly bear


A garden spider (not an insect, of course)

Beautiful pics, flar. Amazing how large the world is to such creatures. Their relatives here might as well be in another galaxy.

Another beautiful day. Wtf is going on It’s been too nice. We’re definitely going to pay for this. The weather astrologists (lol Marty) are predicting a rough one.

16C at 8 AM (WTF) in Moncton at 8 AM, partly cloudy and going up to 20C this afternoon (humidex 26).

Yes, we have a humidex issued for Moncton at the end of October!!!

Same here in Gatineau. It's nutty.

Back to reality tomorrow. It's gonna freeze.

Currently cloudy and 16 at 11am. High of 17 later this afternoon, with a chance of clearing.

Tuesday around Vancouver was just nasty.
Gloomy, blustery, chilly and very wet.

The high at Vancouver Harbour was 9 C, the low was 7 C.






Vancouver, Oct.25 '22, my pics

If Toronto can avoid freezing on Thursday night (EC has us hitting a low of 2), it looks like Toronto will make it well into November before dipping below zero. TWN has Toronto well above freezing up until November 9th.

The sun came out so I weeded the garden-ish areas and mowed the lawn. This time it’d better be the last of the year I mowed the dogberry leaves into the grass. I assume they’re beneficial?



And then the sun went away.

Day Boil sounds like a zit needing to be popped, and not a beer name.

[SignalHillHiker]

It's slang for day drinking. Which works for a day off!

I'm so excited for next spring. I wish I could just switch ahead to see what survives the winter, comes back bigger, etc. I also really want that magnolia tree to flower for me at least once, so hopefully it makes it. And the ferns have all grown considerably from planting so hopefully next year the root work is already done and they really take off.

I also get the rest of what I bought on Saturday - including two bare root peonies and a whack of tulip and crocus bulbs.

Now 22C in Moncton at 1 PM, sunny and a humidex of 28.

Absolute insanity.

I wonder if the humidex will reach 30 later this afternoon............

[MonctonRad]

It might happen. Now 23C in Moncton with a humidex of 29 at 2 PM.

[SignalHillHiker]

That's too warm, ever, let alone October.

[MonctonRad]

It has since clouded over in Moncton. Things are beginning to fall back. Rain expected later this evening.

[GeneralLea]

Wow, that's warm.

It's about 16C currently in the city, maybe a little more adjusting for the urban heat effect. I was sweating a bit getting a coffee and enjoying the rain in the area, and had to turn on the fan when I got home. I really look forward to this warm weather ending.

Went to go look at a crappy looking rental apartment in East York. At least it backs onto a valley for Taylor Creek. Nice colours to look at on two sides of the property.

[SignalHillHiker]

Love that staircase. I think one of my urban preferences is for more naturally-landscaped parkland to have very rigid, strong urban infrastructure passing through. I love that so much more than, say, a worn path or wooden steps.

What's the story behind this very natural looking canal?
