Let's hope not MaxPower. Perhaps just a quick summer storm huffing and puffing across your area? :)

My wife said there's a cold front coming in.

Hopefully it will rain though. We need the rain in a bad way. It will also save on the water bill for the lawn and garden

10 on a calm and partly cloudy morning and headed to 22 today. Forecast has sunny skies and mid 20s for the balance of the week. Just right for me. :)

A warm, humid day, with rain this morning and some sun (hopefully) this afternoon. Still, it shall be sunny and very warm (by St.John's standards) for tomorrow's sunrise flag raising (in my front yard) of the US Flag for Independence Day.

Very pleasant - 16º sunny/cloudy. Lots of sailboats in the bay.

Already 16 onward to 26 on a very muggy day here under cloud cover. Sun is supposed to break through later this afternoon which will make it hot for this area. :)

An amazing day here in St.John's. Downtown St.John's was shrouded in thick fog, with the fog horns going constantly. Being a few kms from downtown, it was sunny with just a hint of breeze to cause my American flag to wave a bit in the front garden. Canada Day was a bit warmer, and a bit windier, which brought about a great display of flags waving in the breeze from my front garden.

After a beautiful long weekend, we woke up to another hot, smoggy day. Now it's raining lightly and there is thunder rolling outside...could be an interesting evening. We could sure use the rain.

We've reached our high of 26 at 2:00 p.m. so it looks like we will get warmer than that. Very muggy though, which is unusual for this part of the country. :)

We currently under a severe thunderstorm warning. 2 cm sized hailstones are expected too.

We had a nice downpour today, just after lunch time. Looks questionable outside right now, kinda windy, overcast with sunny breaks.

Now it's a big old downpour and thunderstorm! Lots of thunder and lightning...the power has flickered a few times.
Stay safe all my fellow Torontonians! And remember to save your work frequently. :)

A sunny 9 this morning with no hint of breeze. High for today is 28, very hot for us. :)

Steamy morning here - there was a good thunderstorm before I left for work. We're well on our way to the day's high of 28 or so. Risk of thunderstorms for the rest of the day into this evening. Chance of rain tomorrow, and the rest of the week looks sunny & nice.

The severe storm passed us by yesterday. We got a good down-pour for a while and that was it. Cloudy and cool this morning. the sun to come out this afternoon and a high of 19. We'll be climbing back up to the 30s by weeks end.

Sunny and a warm (not humid) 25C here in St.John's at 2PM. This is as hot as I would like it to get today. We shall see.

Sunny and 24 today. 27 tomorrow :) :)

Sunny!! We have sun!!! It appears we sent our clouds to Edmonton, nyah nyah. Altough it appears as though Edmonton is in for another hot day. I'll take our highs of 22. Have a great day everyone.

Right you are Carex, a very muggy 18 and on the way to 27. It hit 29 yesterday. :)

I spoke too soon. We are clouding over. I think it I drive up the highway for about 20 minutes I will be into the sun.

And the sun has just broken through here! :D

Curse you!!

Amazing, but I am able to cut and paste yesterday's posting re the weather --

Sunny and a warm (not humid) 25C here in St.John's at 2PM. This is as hot as I would like it to get today. We shall see.

Of course, it is now 4PM, but this is OK with me.

This turned out to be a beautiful day. Temps topped out at 24, humidity at 37% not a cloud in the sky and just enough of a breeze out of the east to keep the bugs away.
Now ... if we could just fix our winters ...

Bolor you had me going there for a moment. I was reading too quickly and thought you had said "if we could just fix our WEINERS...". I was about to tell you you were on the wrong web page before I re-read it.

Geez Carex, my e-mail gets one or two of the solutions to that dilemma every day.

Want me to forward you a couple?

:D

You too? I thought it was targetted advertising.

Yes, please send them my email address and home telephone number. I don't get enough of that garbage as it is.

:)

It's a fine sunny morning here in St. John's. Just got in from taking the doxies for a walk and mowing the lawn (a quiet old-style push mower). It is already 18C and it is not even 9AM. Going to be a hot one (by St.John's standards).

Beautiful and Sunny in Cape Breton. A crisp clear air. Looming showers in the distance.. but the fragrance is spectacular in the morning.

Vexel, this is good news, in that I am teaching 38 undergrad students at CBU (formerly UCCB) online, and they come online in the evening after a sunny day. We shall see.

13 this morning under light cloud and going up to 21. Pretty much "just right" temps for this guy! :)

The temperature should hit 33 today, and they're predicting 34 for tomorrow.

18C now and going up to 21C here in St.John's. This is fine with me as well.

It's going up to 35 today! Too hot for me!!
I feel very bad for anyone who has to do any kind of work in a non-air-conditioned environment. Must be tough.

Mrs. F., come to St. John's where it was 25 with the humidex, nearing "too hot for the doxies" weather. However, there was no ocean breeze today, and it felt warm.

Today's weather in Whistler (July 12th)...

Morning cloudy with a few showers about 15ºC becoming partly cloudy with sunny periods and the odd shower, temp about 22ºC. ahhh! just right :)

It's supposed to hit 33 or 34 today, with a risk of thunderstorms. I brought my umbrella but I likely won't use it, as I'm sure I'll melt down to a puddle of gravy by lunchtime.

Overcast and a high of 21 celcius today. perfect :D Wouldn't mind a little sun to brighten things up a bit.. but alas.. it's still nice and comfy :)

Should be 28 today, and a bit less humid than yesterday. Maybe some thunderstorms.

HAPPY BASTILLE DAY everyone! ;)

Well, surprise of all surprises, we are about to get hit with a dose of .... summer! After suffering horribly through cloudy and rainy days since late May, we are in for some high 20's, possibly 30 degree weather here on the coast.

An heavily overcast Sunday morning it is, with intermittent showers at the moment. The temperature is 24 right now but with the humidex it feels like 33. Feels very sticky, clammy, uncomfortable. They're forecasting 29 as the day's high, with a risk of thunderstorms. Similar tomorrow.

A humid day here in St.John's, but the temp is only 19C so it is pleasant, especially with a brisk breeze.

Well.. it's 19 degree's here already at 8 AM. Expected to hit 32/33 degrees by noon. Oh my.. it's going to be a rough one in the humidity department.. but.. that's what the ocean is for ;)

Vexel, 18C at 9AM here in St.John's, going up to 27C with humidity. Luckily, we do have a strong ocean breeze to keep back GTA's smog.

8:25 a.m.: it's 26 right now but with the Humidex it feels more like 35. Today's high will be 29 or 30, which means a Humidex of approximately 206. Risk of thunderstorms again.

Stinking hot, smothering humidity. What I'd do for a cool fresh breeze.

10:28 am Getting hotter, about time

Summer is finally here. Clear skies, nice breezes, highs of 28.

I'll second The Doug we are way overdue for a cool fresh breeze here in Montreal...
I can relate to all those iBook buyers: as soon as I'll finally go buy that AC unit summer will be over...

Update: tropical rainshower hitting the island right now with cool winds, that will have to do for now. :)

U-update: Make that a small one, it's already over now...

Hey everyone!
I haven't been on for a while, new job and no net access at home makes it hard. Here's what we've experienced here in the past 2 weeks or so:
today was nice and cool 24 with a cold wind, well it feels cold after the 31 to 35 degree's of the last 15 days, humidex was over 40 for most of that time. Until I get AC (or winter comes) I can't run my puter for more than 15-20 minutes :(

Oh well I'll go play with the CoCo2 instead... :)

We too had cooler weather yesterday only 20 deg. Back up to 32 today. The forecast calls for seasonal norms of hi - 24, lo - 11 finally! Maybe we can get some of these forest fires under control (he said hopefully)

Already it's 21C at 830AM and we are going up over 30C with the humidex for the second straight day here in St.John's. Luckily, there is still a sea breeze to help keep things from being too uncomfortable.

Yesterday brought a bit of relief - the high was about 27 degrees, and the humidex around 30 or so... and there was a good albeit warm breeze. As for today, it'll probably hit 29.

They're predicting a great weekend - sunny and 25/26 on Saturday and Sunday, with much lower humidity than we've had lately. Fine by me.

10 on the way to 21 under scattered cloud. Huge thunder and lightening storm last night around midnight. :)

Sunny and warm. High today of 24. At last, some relief from the 30+ weather we have been having

25C at 1130AM and a humidex of 30C. Sticky...............

Quite a day for weather. Lots of thunderstorms rolled through, and several kilometres away in Mascouche they had a microburst or something. Many trees came down. That's bad.

Though it's not weather-related, this (http://lcn.canoe.com/lcn/infos/faitsdivers/archives/2005/07/20050722-075242.html) is bad too. :D

But I digress. The temperature should drop to 14-16 degrees overnight. Aaahhhh, that's better.

It's been really freakin hot here in Philly. Really muggy too, I hate it.

26 today and still 24. Severe weather warnings have been issued for our area with heavy rain, thunder, lightening and large hail possible.

Finally, a day without high humidity. It is 20C here in St. John's this morning, but a nice ocean breeze is making doing gardening a pleasure rather than a chore.

15 under cloud is our high for the day and we are there. Falling to 12 by mid afternoon and 6 tonight with a 60% chance of rain and 70 kph winds.

Not a great day, but a good day to be alive. :)

20 degrees and raining.

A cool 10 under cloud and only up to 16 today.

It rained most of the day here in St.John's, but now it has stopped with some 17C fog rolling in over our fine city. I LOVE fog!!!!!!!!!!

A cool 6 this morning and headed up to 21 in the sunshine today. Nearly perfect in my view. :)

Saturday and Sunday were just beautiful -- sunny both days, 25 or 26, and normal humidity levels.

Today it's back to high heat & humidity, with an expected high of 29. Risk of thunderstorms this morning. At the train station this morning there was an huge downpour for ten minutes; thank goodness I had my oversize umbrella with me. Only my left shoe got completely soaked. Almost dry now...

19 deg at 7:00 am going to 29. sunny and UV index of 8. We need rain!

20C, sunny and very windy here in St.John's. A typical summer day in late July if the fog comes in this evening. We shall see.

32 degrees...sunny, hot and windy. Quite nice, actually!

2 Words: Glor ious

17C and very pleasant here in Canada's far east.

Same here Dr. G.

17 with the odd thunder storm rolling through. Heavy showers but last only a few minutes. Everything smells fresh and new. :)

Sinc, we had a great deal of rain yesterday, so today things are smelling fresh with all the renewed growth. Luckily, out water supplies are full, so there shall be no water rationing this summer.

Sinc, looks like you are having some cool nights there. Down to 7C last night??

Yep, and it is great for a good nights sleep! :)

A rather bland 17C here in St.John's this morning, with no real sun or wind. Still, any day that there is no snow to shovel is a blessing from above. And the flowers in the front and back garden are thriving. Very vivid colors this year.

6 this morning under cloud cover and a high of 22.

Good morning, mon frere. Up at dawn, I see.

Good Morning Dr. G., early mornings are the very best part of my day.

Good morning, my brother. I just finished replying to all of the postings on WebCT by my web students. Always good to hear from you, even in a virtual sense.

It's overcast and quite dark outside. Not too hot...yet. It's supposed to go up to 34 today with a humidex of 42! There are thunderstorms on the way which will apparently cool things down.

Could be an exciting day! Bring on the rain.

Mrs. F., as much as I respect your wisdom and sense of kindness and civility, PLEASE don't let that temp head towards us by the end of the week. As well, stay cool, if you can, and check on any elderly neighbor you might have where you live. Paix.

Dr. G, I believe I heard this morning that the cooler weather was coming from the east, so thank you for that. If things are blowing west, then I suspect some of our more westerly friends might see some hotter temperatures...? I will do my best to make sure that you have good temperatures for the end of the week.

Is there something exciting happening at the end of the week, Dr. G?

Yes, we should all make sure that our neighbours are okay in this kind of weather, especially those who are elderly or disabled. A small gesture can make a huge difference.

Mrs. F., re your question "Is there something exciting happening at the end of the week, Dr. G?", Tuesday's weather in TO is usualy our weather on Friday, and my 10th wedding anniversary is on Friday.

Mrs. F., re your question "Is there something exciting happening at the end of the week, Dr. G?", Tuesday's weather in TO is usualy our weather on Friday, and my 10th wedding anniversary is on Friday.

Oh yes, you had mentioned your anniversary in the Shang! Of course you need good weather for that day. 10 years...how wonderful.

A pretty muggy 29 here, with a risk of thunderstorms. So what else is new.

As of tomorrow we're supposed to see less humidity, and temperatures of 24-26 until Sunday at least. Better weather for sleeping. :)

Congrats DR. G on your 10th anniversary. May you have many more. S'toon berry muffins all around!
A cloudy 14 with light rain. Expected high of 22 ... we need a good down pour.

Mrs. F., I shall blame Doug, because on Thursday it is predicted to be a muggy 28C, and Montreal is closer to us than TO.

Thank you, Bolor. It is now a brisk 15C with a light drizzle. No panting doxies today.

Mrs. F., I shall blame Doug, because on Thursday it is predicted to be a muggy 28C, and Montreal is closer to us than TO.

Okay, I'll admit it. I have been controlling the weather for a little while now.

Okay, I'll admit it. I have been controlling the weather for a little while now.

In that case, maybe you could send along a perfect day to St. John's for Friday...? :)

Curse you Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just kidding)

Bless you, Mrs. F. (this is the truth)

Curse you Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (just kidding)

Bless you, Mrs. F. (this is the truth)

Thanks, Dr. G.
By the way, I heard that it was 24 degrees here at lunchtime, so maybe there's still hope. I know tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful...maybe that'll make it to St. John's by Friday...?

It was a refreshing 15 degrees overnight. Today's high will be about 23, with clear blue skies and low humidity. Just about perfect, I'd say.

It's supposed to get warmer through the weekend and by next Monday we'll see a return of 30+ temperatures and high humidity. Poop.

It's a beautiful day today in Toronto. Sunny with a few clouds, cool and crisp but warming up later. Couldn't be better.

Dr. G, how is the St. John's forecast looking for tomorrow??

Mrs. F., high of 21C and 70% chance of showers. It is about 30C with the humidex just now in St.John's.

The humidex went up to 30C here in St.John's. It is now 21C with a bit of a breeze as the National is about to start.

Fine Sunday afternoon here in Central Ontario. Dashboard telling me a nice sunny 24 degrees Celsius.

A beautiful sunny warm day here in St.John's. An excellent day to see the whales.

Our cool weather is gone and the hot, sticky stuff is back. High 28 today up to 30 tomorrow.

High 31 today and humid. Sunny too.

10 this morning on the way to 19 in the sunshine. Nice! :)

20C with a bit of a sea breeze here in St.John's.

Beautiful, with a beautiful outlook with continuing beautifulness for the rest of the week. Highs of 30 by Thursday which is smokin' hot for us.

Lotsa rain and 18 degrees here :)

Nuts! If Vexel is getting rain today, then we might get some tomorrow. Still 20C and sunny here in St.John's.

Dr. G, this rain is a good thing.. it's reducing the chances of Forest Fires :) Besides.. it didn't seem to last long.. well it lasted the morning.. but now it's clearing up. Turning out to be a bright sunny day. I love it when this happens.. everything is so crisp and clean :D

Vexel, we have had enough rain to keep us clear of any sort of drought conditions. Still, I know what you mean about the "crisp and clean" scent of just after the rain, especially with a bit of the ocean breeze coming in from the Atlantic. Paix.

Currently 27 with humidity at 80%. going to 34 today. I'm sure the humidex will top out at over 40 ... whew ...hot

28C right now. It's goin' up to 33 though. Should be a hot one. :S Glad I have air conditioning in the store.

A bland 17C and cloudy here in St.John's.

Cloudy, but crisp morning here in CB. I hope the weather cleans up a bit.. I have Dr. Hook tickets for this evening! hehehe.. good ol' Cape Breton.. gets Dr. Hook... for ROCK THE DOCK! w00000t! :D

A sticky, cloudy 24 right now. Hopefully we'll get the rain they are calling for. We were supposed to get 40 to 50 mm yesterday, but nary a drop. :(

8 in the sun and headed to 26. Quite warm for our area.

A quiet 18C here in St.John's at about noon.

22 heading for 28. We are locked into the late summer drought. Lawns are browning nicely, salmon are swimming back to the beaches, barbecues are in full swing. Ahh, the dog days of summer; where did I put my G&T?

Still 18C here in St.John's, but it was warm enough for the doxies to go swimming in a few ponds behind Admiralty Woods Golf Course this afternoon.

Doxies can swim?

Carex, amazingly, yes. They use their long snout like a air hose and paddle with all four paws, and somehow use their long tails like a propeller. It is an amazing site to see, since they are really freaks of nature on land, much like the walrus. Mind you, they are not good swimmers, but they can swim. They are also fast runners, but cannot change direction quickly. I guess it takes a bit of time for their brains to send the info all the way down their long body to their back legs. They are really digging dogs.

Our boxer can't or won't swim. Trouble is, her companion is a lab and he swims constantly. She spends many an hour standing chest deep in water watching and barking and waiting for the stick to be brought back to shallow water. And then she steals it!!

I guess if they had left her tail on she may have a least had a rudder.

Carex, a neighbor of our has a black Lab and their best friend has a Boxer. I am told that the same thing happens, in that the Boxer will not go into water deeper than his chest.

Up to 20C and sunny now. Go figure St.John's weather these days.

24 degrees with high humidity at 6:00 a.m. - with the Humidex it feels like 33. Clammy & dank. Supposed to rain a bit this morning, so the humidity will probably rise even more. Yech.

12 this morning in bright sunshine and a high today of 26. Life is good. :)

15C here this morning with a brisk ocean breeze. No humidity or smog for us today, but 20C+ temps will not be here either until tomorrow.

18 degrees and very sunny this morning. A welcome change to the breezy coldness that just passed by in the recent week. :) High of 22 :D

Currently a sunny 24 going to 30. Fortunately, there won't be a lot of humidity.

Mornin' Bolor. 18 now here and going to 23. I would call that a perfect day. :)

Afternoon, Sinc. 23C here at 5:15PM and it's a perfect day here as well. A bit of warm wind out of the southwest, so no ocean breeze for us here in St.John's today.

Good Morning all, 14 right now and a high of 22 for today. another perfect day in my opinion. :)

http://homepage.mac.com/gcurry/MyWebCam/cedarlake.html There that'll tell ya what's it like down here :D .

A hot afternoon here in St.John's, with hot sun, 25C, and no wind.

I know it's late in the day, but now I know what hell is like. We have it right here in Timmins ... 32 deg but only 36 humidex. (35% humidity)

The perfect weather continues...

We had a hot day here in St. John's, with 26C and a 27C humidex. The wind direction has shifted and at nearly 11PM, we are getting a cooling ocean breeze and 19C.

Anothe hot stickey one ... high 29

27 with a high of 31 + humidity. Really sticky.. I'm not a fan :( Oh well.. that's what the beach is for. ;)

Cool at 13 and struggling to make 18 today.

A hot 24C here in St.John's with NO sea breeze.

Only 8 this morning under cloudy skies. High of only 14 today. The furnace in our house kicked in about 6:00 a.m.

Brrr.

23C at noon, with a humidex of 26C.............going up to 30C with the humidex. Luckily, there is a strong wind out of the southwest to keep things pleasant.

Clouded over this morning for the first time in about 3 weeks. Looks like we are on the way to 23 (16 now) and there will be clouds around. It feels humid too.

Currently, 28C with the humidex and going up to 31C. Thankfully, there is a strong wind.

11 this morning and a high of 18. The sun is trying to break through the clouds. Hope it clears for tonight as I want to see the meteor showers.

24C, with a humidex reading of 30C here in St.John's. Does not look like it shall be clear tonight for the meteor shower. Nuts!!!

10 this morning with a sunny high of 23. Finally coolong down a bit. :)

Bolor, you sent your warmth here -- 26C/32C with the humidex. Actually, because of all the wind, I think Irene is pushing some weather our way.

A warm 25C day here in St.John's. Irene is not only bringing us this fine weather, but is headed our way. We shall see.

Cool here again today. Only 13 and a high of 18 with cold northerly winds. Wind chill makes it feel like 5 degrees out there. Brrrrr.

Sinc, we could use a cooling breeze here today in St.John's.

Been in the high twenties/low thirties here for weeks now. We finally got a summer after a very slow start (everything is still deep green...unlike the past two summers).

Water biz is going from crazy to pure ballistic. Just like the land prices out here.

Guess I'll just have to cope... ;)

7 this morning on the way to 22 in the sunshine. Welcome home Gerry! :)

BRRRRRRRR!

7 in the rain and only struggling to make 10 today.

A bland 19C today in St.John's.........not much sun, not much wind, just calm.

It's a heat wave, we're all the way up to 8 now! :D

Sinc, 8C?????? Cue Martha and the Vandellas........and "Heat Wave".

Not sure I can take much more, 9 now. Phew! :D

Been absolutely gorgeous here the last while. 24 and sunny today. We need some rain tho' ...

It's still a pleasant 16C here in St.John's with no fog at 10PM. We are able to see the moon.

Hotter than the hubs of hell around here! And it's been that way for about a month now.

Almost midnight out here on the west coast....and the thermometer is still reading 27C where I'm sitting. That's about eighty degrees for you old-timers. With every single window and sliding door open in the whole house!

We can do that on Salt Spring because we have no blackflies or mosquitos, BTW. ;)

18C here in St.John's this morning, with beautiful sunshine and a bit of an ocean breeze coming in off of the Atlantic. A perfect day for mid-August.

Another very dull and heavy cloud morning here at only 6 degrees. Rain is forecast with a high of only 11 by mid afternoon. Temps are 10 degrees below normal for nearly a week now. Sigh.

Sinc, a sunny 21C here at noon. Maybe I could send you some good weather? This is turning out to be an amazing August here in St.John's, with rain only coming late at night, when it does come at all.

11PM and it is still 16C here in St.John's. Just had some ice tea out on the back deck to see if the doxies would howl at the nearly new moon overhead.

A breezy 16C and partly sunny here at 830AM in St.John's. We actually have about an inch of rain in the forecast which we need. Still, the sun is shining now, so I shall send some of this on to Sinc.

Another cloudy, dark morning in light rain at 8 degrees. Will only get to 12 again today, if that.

First rain in 33 days last evening. I happened to be out running around in it and it was very refreshing, though humid before it started. 16 already heading for 22. Looks like we could get more showers.

Carex, we are going to get our first real rain in two weeks. It is still 17C, but the rain clouds are here.

First rain in over a month here too, but sadly it was overnight. Have been craving the experience. 15 and heading up to 20.

Same thing here. Came down in buckets last night. I have a metal roof, so I know this. :D

18C here and some rain off an on throughout the day.

For todays weather, please see yesterdays post. Will it EVER warm up?

It's is going to be another warm day here in St.John's, Sinc, so I shall send some to you via Doxie Express. 2C in Calgary going up to 29C in the next few days. "Help is on the way."

Its bloody cold here in Ontario.. I'm in Pembroke, north of Ottawa an hour and its bloody chilly.

Nice change but hopefully it doesn't stick around too long. I'm actually wearing a hoody today first time in quite awhile.

Currently 9 and pouring rain. We'll never see our predicted high of 12. But the good news is twofold. We needed the rain and whatever Dr. G. has been doing, tomorrow we get sun and 20 then 26 for the weekend. Thank you sir! :)

Sinc, glad to have been of help. My wife and I just were speaking to her brother in Edmonton. He was glad for the rain, but hated to cool weather. We were on my back deck having gin and tonics in 21C temps.

Sinc, glad to have been of help. My wife and I just were speaking to her brother in Edmonton. He was glad for the rain, but hated to cool weather. We were on my back deck having gin and tonics in 21C temps.Dr. G., does the use of the plural "tonics" mean you had more than one? Just asking! :D

A beautiful full moon overhead and it is still 17C here in St.John's. What a night!!!

A beautiful full moon overhead and it is still 17C here in St.John's. What a night!!!
We never did get past 9. :(

Sinc, this is typical St.John's weather you folks are having. The past month has not been as hot as last year, but we have been having grand weather. The predicted smog that was headed our way from the GTA along the Jet Stream has not materialized.

A sunny but cool 13C here in St.John's at 8AM. I am writing this out on my back deck with my iBook and a cup of coffee. I love wi-fi.

19C and sunny, with a bit of ocean breeze here in St.John's at 1230PM.

A calm, partly sunny 19C here in St.John's. Very quiet weather-wise.

Sunny and 22 headed for 29 but very windy here in Saskatoon today. Great afternoon for day two of the air show.

Sunny and 24 in Waterloo today

It is 130AM here in St.John's and it is still 19C.........a balmy 19C.........very rare for late August here in St.John's.

I:30AM and it's still 24C here on Salt Spring Island. We have had a tremendous run of warm dry weather since early july. Hardly a drop of rain for the past forty days or so. (we DID have one night of rain...but it was sunny the next day)

And...judging by previous summers...we might just see mostly warm sunny weather for another month or two. It is often nice here right into early October. ;)

Heck...it's often pretty nice here in February, for that matter! :D

Did I mention that there are NO blackflies here? And rarely a single mosquito?

17C in Vancouver at 0320 (checks his weather widget) should be a good day for paintballing tomorrow too!

21C here in St.John's. Writing this out on my back deck on my iBook, with doxies running about and a glass of ice tea to help start the day.

18C and it is nearly 1030PM. We had some thunder, rain and loads of fog throughout the day. It is calm and pleasant right now.

12 in the rain today, but very little rain. Way too cold for this time of year.

18C and cloudy, and it is not even 9AM yet. Warm for this time of year, but I am not complaining.

11 and cloudy with heavy rains all night, abating by this evening. Struggling up to 15 today.

It's beautiful here today. The sky is blue, the sun is shining...

Mrs.F., send some sunshine our way. 20C and a bit of rain here in St.John's. The doxies want to go for a run this weekend.

Clear, sunny, and 20 in waterloo

A beautiful day here in St. John's, sunny, 25C for most of the afternoon and now, at 945PM, it is still 19C with a brisk sea breeze to make this pleasant.

A nice sunny morning at 11, but showers for later today and a high of only 19.

Partly sunny and 20C here in St.John's. My wife just took "the boys" (aka Rootie, Jack and Max) off for a run, while I stay behind with "the girls" (aka Daisy and Abby).

33C, clear blue sky, sunny here in Recklinghausen (Rhine Ruhr Area, West Germany).
Weather forcast promises temperatures above 27C at least until Friday.

Nice -- and I thought the summer was already over. :)

Hi phil, welcome to ehMac! :)

Greetings, Phil. The closest I have been to Recklinghausen was Cologne back in Sept. of 1972.

A cool morning at only 6 with a high of 17 in the sunshine.

Good morning, Sinc. A bland day here in St.John's, with cloudy 17C temps.

Thanks Dr. G and SINC.
Yeah, Cologne is just about 50km away from here. :)

Once again, nice weather here. I'm sitting in the garden with the Powerbook on my lap and enjoy the last sunbeams here. It's still 28C and a clear blue sky. Great! :)

Phil, I am sitting in my back garden with partly sunny skies and 22C. St. John's is about 12km from Cape Spear, which is the most easterly point in North America.

Not too hot, not too cool....just right.

CC, these are the lazy days of a departing summer.

you've got that right Dr.G

CC, I do enjoy the ease of wi-fi on an iBook, especially when it is warm and not too sunny.

20 degrees right now. We're getting the remnants of Hurricane Katrina today - the rain is pouring down in buckets. We have an heavy rainfall warning in effect (50 to 80mm expected) and there could be strong winds. My soggy shoes and leaky umbrella notwithstanding -- I count my blessings, and think of all those in the southern U.S. who were touched by this hurricane when it was at full ferocity.

A humid 23C here in St. John's at nearly 2PM. And, as Doug expressed so very well, I too count my blessing for this sort of gentle weather compared to the devastation along the Gulf coast.

10 on the way to 19 in the sunshine as we celebrate Alberta's 100th birthday today! :)

A humid 22C here in St.John's. My wife, having come here from Calgary, will be taking yours truly and all of our dogs on a hike to recreate the cattle run days along the Edmonton Trail. It is her way to celebrate Alberta's Centennial here in St. John's.

It's currently 11°C here in Winnipeg, overcast and dreary. The Red River seems low to me, and there's lots of new erosion along the banks; I live on the river here. Thankfully, there's no moquitos anymore, but that could change if it really warms up again.

I recommend checking out: http://umanitoba.ca/bisoncam/ where you can get a great picture of the UofMB's new Engineering & Information Technology Complex (EITC) ... moving day is TODAY (Sept. 1) -- it's going to be a spectacular complex once all the renovations to the older buildings are completed next year, but having the new building is pretty cool too.

KM, I applied to U of MB years ago for a teaching position, but did not even get shortlisted. Go Bisons!!!!!

A bit cloudy here lately...but today was back to full summer. :D

If things go well, this summery weather will last into early october. If not...then we will get rain.

Then, in late feb or so...we will be back into spring. ;) :D

With about two days of snow in between. Or none, if we are lucky.

22C and cloudy. We have had a grand summer so far here in St.John's, and it does not seem to want to go away just yet.

23C, humid and thunderstorms and rain for most of the day..............with about 10 minutes of sunshine every hour or so. Go figure???

19 and humid here with light showers forecast. Might make 22 by this afternoon.

It's 22 and mostly sunny here in Toronto today and they are calling for 23-25 and sun for the long weekend! WooHoo!!

Still 22C here in St. John's as we approach 9PM. Very strange, indeed.

Same temperature here at 5:23, Dr. G.

21.5 going on 10PM Sinc.

Still 21 here at 6:17.

21.4C at 1034PM.........but the humidity is breaking and there is a cooling sea breeze. I wish I could send some of this down to the Gulf Coast.

20 in bright sunshine. A near perfect day!

Same here as well, Sinc. We are not in perfect harmony.

Only 7 here this morning and not getting much better with a high of 11 in the rain. Quite cool out this morning with the wind.

21C and mostly sunny with a bit of wind here in St.John's. Fall can't be far away, but these last days of summer are great.

A calm 18C here in St.John's at 1035PM. Time to take the doxies out to Churchill Park for a short stoll.

Cold and rain continue. Blah.

My wife and I were sitting out on out back deck looking at the stars. Very romantic.

10 this morning and cool. Trying to rain under heavy cloud. Struggling to 12 for today's high.

A booming thunderstorm just passed overhead and it poured for about 20 minutes. Now, all is calm, quiet, and cloudy with 17C temps. The doxies hid under the blankets during the boomers.

Overcast right now. Hoping it clears and gets up to the predicted high of 23 for the "we are finished rebuilding our decks party" we are hosting later on today.

This rainy cool day has prompted me to go fishing in the trout pond out near Morinville. Now where did I leave those worms?

Sinc, after a heavy rain storm, I usually go up and down the cul-de-sac collecting worms that have been washed out of the gardens. People ask me if I am going fishing, and I say "No, just collecting worms for my garden." I don't mind holding a bunch of worms in my cupped hands, but I can't hook one that is alive.......which explains why I have only been fishing once in my life.

Dr. G., there are many other ways you can fish without having to hook a live worm. I often use a small piece of marshmallow, a single niblet of corn or simply some red wool wrapped around the hook. Of course there are artificial lures as well.

I also only use barbless hooks to prevent injury to the fish as I release all I catch but for two a year. One walleye and one trout.

Sinc, I took my son fishing at a local pond when he was a little boy. I had two small rods, and a red/white bobbin at the end of each..........but no hook. We had a grand time "fishing"............even though to this day he does not know that we never had bait on a line with no hook.

Cool in Toronto today. Not quite reaching the predicted high of 26. I think we're at 21. It really feels like fall. The light streaming in my back windows has changed. The shadows are getting longer and the light is less intense. I love autumn. :)

Sinc, I always knew it as a "bobbin", in that we used empty spools of thread for these when I was a child. Of course, we went "fishing" in the Flushing Meadows, where no fish have lived for years. Thanks for the educaiton.

15C and rain here in St.John's.

Dr. G., these are bobbins:

and this is a bobber:

Sinc, I know the difference on sight, but I always called the red and white bobber a bobbin. Not too many fishing holes in my neighborhood in NYC. Not too many trees or grass either, if I recall. I showed my son my old apartment on google.maps, and even though he was there when he was 3 1/2, he does not remember it at all.

It's a mid-September hot spell -- 28 yesterday, 30 today, 30 tomorrow, overcast with a chance of showers.

Only 5 here this morning with showers and a high of 16. Still below normal temps for this time of year.

A very dark and cloudy morn at 6 degrees and only getting to 13 today. Supposed to be nice on the weekend for our fishing trip though! :)
