Another hot weekend in Windsor, currently 32c with 40c humidex, hot but not as oppressive as it has been this summer. This is what summer should be like in extreme southern Canada!

That Tornado documentary was intense! too bad the music was beyond terrible, stupid 80's.

Yeah there seem to be more intense thunderstorms this year, I wonder if it's related to the record snowpack that is still melting in the Rockies.

^ I would have to say it has more to do with the hot humid air pushing from the south mixing with the cold dry air pushing in from the pacific and choosing the prairies as its social mixing grounds.

High heat and humidity warning for
Metro Montréal - Laval continued

Quote:
Warm weather continues over Southern Quebec. Saturday, humidity level will be on the rise and will thus make conditions uncomfortable.

The humidex value should reach 40 in the afternoon over strongly urbanized areas of Montréal and the surrounding areas.

Preliminary data indicate that in very dense urban portions of the Montréal area, highs have been reaching or exceeding 30 degrees since July 27th and lows have remained above 20 degrees since July 30th.

High humidex values could be reached again Sunday but it is still too early to confirm this. Please refer to subsequent weather statements.

The Canadian warmspot was Pemberton, BC at 34.1C.

19C was the high today

Loved the 39.2 mm of rain we rec'd (though the majority fell in 20 min).

Gentle all day rains seem to be a thing of the past.

Saskatchewan is up to 33 probable tornadoes now. Looking at the youtube videos reminds me of how lucky we are re lots of uninhabited space in this province.

most honest post here I think!

I saw this posted under a news article (I'm sure it was an Easterner that put it in the comment section):

Quote:
This Mayan apocalypse is certainly proving to be sticky and muggy. I didn't think it would end this way for our species. We're being hazed to extinction by the humidity. I would totally prefer quick death by celestial fireball

I think it's the first time I can remember seeing 43C or more humidexes in 3 provinces on the same day.

BC:
Lytton: 43

Ontario:
Ottawa: 43
St. Catharines: 43
Toronto Downtown: 43
Trenton: 43

Quebec:
Huntingdon: 43

Forecasted high of 39 in Lytton and Lillooet tomorrow, along with 38 in Kamloops, would be nice to see a new national high for the year tomorrow.

I was in Kamloops yesterday, a nice 30 degree day when I was there, these photos are from Lac du Bois Grassland Provincial Park on the north side of Kamloops. It is a spectacular place in person.

Low of 20C this morning...

33C with a humidex of 40C and sunny this afternoon! What a spectacular start to August.

The Canadian warmspot was Lytton, BC at 38.2C.

Like I said earlier, we had several cities with a humidex of 43C.

Huntingdon recorded today its 25th 30C+ day of the year.

Interested to see/hear of the temperature variations in your city. As with most coastal cities, Victoria has an extreme temperature range within a small geographical area, depending on distance from the ocean and topography. Below is the weather map for Victoria, the total distance across is only 8 miles; downtown is centered around the inner harbour at the bottom. At 9:50 a.m. today, the temperature ranges from 18 to 29 C. The official Victoria temperature is taken at the Airport some 16 miles from downtown (not shown on the map), and the temp there at the same time was 25 C. The measurements are quite accurate and are from a UVic project run by famed weather scientist Andrew Weaver. As you can see, when it gets hot...go to the ocean!!

Awesome map! Love it.

Good thing Nikko does not live in Victoria, he would be sounding the alarm that there has not been rain for 13 days now, with another 7 sunny days to come in the current forecast.

On that note, Victoria was likely the driest metro are in Canada this July (as usual) with only 20.6 mm of rain.

The grass is all brown and crunchy here in Van now, love it, I need my annual dead lawn season in August on the South Coast.
