I would just not survive. We hit 21C official temp this week, and our building had to close because it was 26-30C inside (depending on individual office).

45? I'd literally just die. That's 15C above my personal wet bulb temp lol

These temps are crazy and to revel in them I find troubling as one of the biggest causes is climate change due to our lifestyles. Give me 22 c and a light breeze and no need for AC or heating any time from May to September.

You can't even go to the beach in that weather.

Man... yes. You're pulling the strings in my soul, which I think are the genetic preferences of homo sapiens lol

Gonna be a scorcher...

10AM ADT: Charlo, NB with a dewpoint of 25.0C.

Without getting too far into weather minutae the 'Chapleau' readings are only a max of 30.7 so that 'Chapleau airport" reading may be in error?

Much nicer in Vancouver today, and no oppressive temperatures (yet).

30.9 today with a low of 23.3 at my place. I had a ball game in Chatham, it was 33 at game time and super muggy. You get used to it pretty quickly, just have to drink lots of water.

[Kilgore Trout]

It's 10pm and still 30 degrees here in Montreal. I'm sitting on my verandah. Reminds me of being in Hong Kong.

Earlier today when it was 32 I took my camping chair down to Jeanne-Mance Park and worked in a shady spot that gets a nice westerly breeze. Lots of people out lounging on the grass. Delightful.

Tomorrow it's supposed to be 34 and I'll hit the big outdoor pool on St. Helen's Island. I'm looking forward to it because after years of living in a place with a hot subtropical climate I find it hard to get in the water if it's anything below 30 out.

30 plus is prime time for the beach. Often there will be a breeze coming in off the water. But even when there isn't, you still look at the water as salvation. It's extra inviting. So, if you're not good with the heat, if you can withstand it for a few minutes before you jump in the water then it's all good. Wouldn't be able to do an all day thing, but at least when you're at the beach, you can strip down to practically naked.

Daughter had a soccer game at 6. No one complained though about the heat. Lots of water breaks though. Plus, there's a splash pad next to the pitch and all the kids were eyeing it beforehand. Lots of wet soccer jerseys today.

I left Oakville at 12:30 and headed up to Milton. When I got out of the car at 1 in Milton it was noticeable hotter. Lake O must have moderated some of that heat. I live in the middle of town as opposed to the lake shore, but we must have felt some effect from the lake.

Re. sweating, it doesn't bother me as long as it's not showing through. So I will wear darker shirts on days like today. And make sure I hit those pits with deodorant. And I'm comforted knowing I can just shower when I get home, which will feel extra refreshing. I would not feel great about it if I were say back country camping and there was no shower facility or a lake/river to jump in.

Try not to look like ex Arizona coach Sean Miller.

If people want to discuss climate change, there is a specific thread about it I believe. Let us enjoy our heat in peace. It balances out the record cold in the West.

Looks like there may have been as many cold records yesterday as hot records on an hourly basis. This map doesn't include low maximums or high minimums.

The last 100 RER record reports from the NWS include ~120 "high/max" reports and ~135 "low/min" reports.

34C with a humidex of 44 and mainly sunny. We had some thin clouds this afternoon which obstructed the sun.

Most of my day today



Low of 24C with a humidex of 33 this morning.

The warmspot was Bathurst, NB at 37.6C. That is the new highest temperature in Canada this year.

Warmest low was Downtown Montreal, QC at 25.4C. That would beat the warmest low all of last year (Summerland at 25.3C).
Officially, the warmest low yesterday was Ridgetown, ON at 23.4C.

The record humidex on the year now belongs to Fredericton, NB at 45.6.

The record dewpoint on the year now belongs to Granby, QC at 25.3C

I believe it was flar who told me two years ago about mulberry trees. I mentioned that I had two berry trees suddenly show up two years ago and that they were rapidly growing. They are well over 20 feet tall now and touching other trees. Going to lop off half of them come fall time. But, in the meantime, will eat some berries and maybe even make a jam or something like flar would. Not that I know how to do that or will even feel like taking the time to do it, but it's a nice thought. Would feel like a waste to not do anything with them.

The taller tree has way more berries and they are ripening. The other, as you can see, still has white berries, and not that many so far.

It would be nice if other trees grew as fast as mulberry.

I don't know if I've made anything out of mulberries, I just go out and get a handful and throw them in my cereal. I only take the darkest, ripest berries for maximum sweetness. They're not packed with flavour like raspberries, but are good with something, like ice cream or cereal, and would be good in muffins or pancakes. The ripe ones fall off when you touch them.

Jam is not difficult -equal parts fruit and sugar, a bit of lemon juice, pectin if you want it to be thicker and Bob's you uncle.

27 in Charlottetown right now, feels like 35. Gonna go up to 30 and feel like 39 this afternoon (around 15:00). This is not normal and is a result of a lack of care, one of which being poor urban planning practices throughout the 20th - 21st centuries.

Beautiful day. It started out overcast but then the skies cleared mid-day and it was warm, sunny and dry with a fresh ocean breeze.

Tuesday’s high at Vancouver Harbour was 19 C, the low was 13 C.

This sounds damn near perfect.

Currently 5c here on our way to sunshine and 22c, absolutely beautiful out. Might not hit the 30 degree mark by the weekend but definitely upper high 20's.

I think Nicko just loves to sweat.
