We've already climbed to 19 before 9:00 a.m. so I think we might better our high of 29.

Wow 19 and solid steady rain = even the tree rats are taking shelter

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/Picture345.jpg

Cute pic, MacDoc.

There were two huddled up for a while...starting to ease off and sun is starting to show a bit....

not sure how long the break will be

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/Picture347.jpg

19 and less wet...:D

Tree rats will do that, MacDoc.

It was raining like crazy all morning, with lots of little floods on the roads here and there. It's still dark out, dark enough that the nightlight upstairs is on. I haven't been out in a few hours, but I bet it is muggy like crazy...

Nice ride - a bit of rain and just dodged a shower coming home...

22 out - mix of sun and dark clouds...

15 on the way to 31 today and 32 tomorrow. Too hot.

Sunny and 20C with a nice ocean breeze at 4PM.

Hot and apparently staying that way:

A calm 14C at midnight. A pleasant night.

Dodging Tstorms all day. 20 now and nice but the Canadian Open is going to be wild with the lines of Tstorms coming through. Line after line of them...

Nearly 9:00 p.m. and still very hot and hotter tomorrow:

A beatiful sunrise and 15C now at nearly 9AM.

Something wicked...gonna be a tough day at the Canadian OPen....again :(

18 and it's gonna get wet...

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/Picture371.jpg

20 at 6:18 a.m. and a scortcher toay at 33.

My G_d some of you guys get up early! Anyway, it's abut 20C moving to 25C today and....of course, a chance of showers. This is beginning to sound like last summer. I may have to return to Nova Scotia again to get 3 dry days in a row......

Rp, it is 19C and sunny here at nearly noon. We need some rain to end our water shortage .......... not a crisis yet, but water levels are very low.

25 just before 10:00 a.m. and heded higher.

15C with some heavy rain overnight, which is fine with me since we need this sort of rain badly.

Massive light show out here combined with thunder and rain got me up early. 20 on the way up to 27 today with showers. Oh well, we sure do need the rain.

Geez, for a second I thought you said "massive light snow." :eek:

Geez, for a second I thought you said "massive light snow." :eek:

You mean you didn't hear the thunder or see the lightening just 30 km from here?

Feels a bit steamy out there this morning. Yesterday's deluge has left deep pools of water which are quickly evaporating in the hot sun.

Still only 18˚though.

Here's a shot of the parking lot of a local grocery store late yesterday afternoon. The road beside it was submerged under a foot or more. We missed it all as we were happily watching an afternoon matinee.

It's raining out once again. I welcome the warmth of my laptop as I sit on the porch and type this. My feet are cold. It's summer....

15C, overcast, rain showers, and half-way to being dark here @ 9:25PM. A high of 17 expected tomorrow...

At 26 we've nearly reached our high of 27. With the Edmonton Indy race set to start in about a half hour, it is darn hot out there on the track.

A cloudy 16C at nearly 8PM. Got some real rain overnight, which should help the gardens a bit.

Dodged T storms on our longest ride yet 400+ km but got caught on the way back....wet and lighting.
18 now - was warmer earlier.
Still some cells rumbling about. Push our riding gear and bodies pretty hard....10 hour day. Hot tub coming up.

Drizzle and 16C at just before 9AM this quiet Monday morning. We can use all the rain and drizzle that can come our way, within reason, to help with our water shortage. Since we can't water our lawns, this is helping with our gardens.

14 and headed to 27 for yet another nice day, but we sure do need some rain.

a glorious and finally dry 20 degrees...they might actually finish the Canadian Open today :rolleyes:

16C and misty fog at nearly 2PM. No golf today here in St. John's.

The temperature is forecast to hit 31 C in Vancouver today, but according to the Weather Network it’ll feel like 41 C when the relative humidity is factored in.

Wicked hot! Rarely seen highs in these parts.
Driving a transit bus in this weather is sheer torture. :(

14C and foggy at nearly 9PM. Very quiet evening here in St.John's.

16 and overcast with light rain on the way to 26 today.

16C and overcast here as well. Had some much needed rain overnight, which is good.

22C and cloudy at 131PM.

17 under cloudy skies and a revised high of 22.

22C with a humidex reading of 28C. There is a bit of a breeze which helps a bit.

22 and sunny! finally! I'm sure that the rain will be back to spoil the weekend :p

13 on the way to a pleasant 24 in the sunshine today.

17C and cloudy here in St.John's this morning. A quiet day so far.

Had another thirty minute hurricane last night, around midnight. :ptptptptp

22 this morning, partly cloudy, everything outside is sopping wet and the air is still and dank (humidity at 84%).

I wonder what time today's torrential downpour will occur.

Doug, this has been quite the season for bad weather for you folks. Bon chance, mon ami.

Lovely day in Hfx. 22C and humidity down a bit but we mustn't get used to this. Showers and thundershowers tomorrow.

We've actually dropped from 13 to 11, but with the sun rising, it will warm up quickly now.

Here in Bowmanville, it is dull and going to rain. As I sit here, it is almost August and I can honestly say we have not had 3 dry days in a row this whole summer....which is not good when you have to clean and paint your deck!

It is about 20C here today with T-Bangers coming this afternoon. They almost seem to roll-in with the frequency of plane landing at an airport......great!

In Port Coquitlam, it is hot with a capital Htoday it will be 35 with a humidex of 40 or more. To think I left a comfotable 23 gfor this.

That is very hot, Bolor. Stay cool, mon ami.

22C with sunshine here at just past 2PM.

15C, rained on and off for the last 48 hrs and there's more to come over the next seven days :mad:. Oh well I'm off to the pub in about an hour or so, so as long as it doesn't bucket it down during the (short) walking sections I don't really care what it does :D.

With a low of 13 forecasted for tonight, and a high of just 16 for tomorrow :( I wonder where the summer's gone.
8:40PM.

Sunny and 19C late this afternoon.

currently 32 with 38 humidex (2:00 PM)

In Port Coquitlam, it is hot with a capital Htoday it will be 35 with a humidex of 40 or more. To think I left a comfotable 23 gfor this.

i'm dieing in this heat......fans kinda help...man no breeze in BURNABY at all ,just stagnet heatbeejacon

22 and rain mostly gone :clap:

Bit of late sun peeking through..

i wish we had rain:D

Hurrah.

I wonder if I'll be awakened again around midnight by a terrible storm again, though.

Brrrrrrr 14 and spectacular clean air

http://www.airqualityontario.com/meters/4.jpg

.

Hottest day on record here in Vancouver. Lots of other local records broken today too. (eg: Port Alberni hit 40°C)
I kissed and hugged my air conditioner, and nearly proposed. :o

The temperature inside our transit buses are reaching 40°C and beyond!! :eek:


http://www.news1130.com/images/2009/07/temperatureSign_35_July2909.jpg

12 in bright sunshine with a light breeze here in Camrose, AB this morning.

Never thought I'd say this, but I want to be in Vancouver. (I dig the heat)

weather is ballz! i rode my bike to the GO station on what was supposed to be a sunny day, to return to the station and it just started pouring rain... and our soccer game was cancelled due to weather last week too... come on summer... what gives!

22C with a nice ocean breeze at 117PM here in St.John's

ok another intense day for the heat in vancouver area-

I never thought I'd say this, but the weather today is terrific. Nary a cloud in the sky, 25 degrees. Should be nice through Sunday.

Kudos, Doug. You folks deserve some good weather.

Remaining overcast though the rain has stopped for the time being. Currently 15C and, being 11:55PM, completely dark outside. A whopping high of 19 is forcasted for tomorrow. We'll see. Now Jasper, according to my dashboard weather widget, implies highs of 31 and 32 for tomorrow/weekend - just wish I was there is all I can say...

A beautiful night, as it is 19C and a nice half moon is rising in the south.

Ditto - 21 and clearing....tempting for a ride..summer flees :(

finally kida warm breeze here in vancouver

Nuttin like those big ones in Winterpeg.
Or the huge Hexham Greys we had in Hunter Valley in NSW ( they were an inch across....) then again the full bodied, heavy breathing Hunter Shiraz was an excellent antidote!)

Funny lookin' horse http://www.ehmac.ca/avatars/macdoc.gif?dateline=1245947634 :D

17 and crisp and clear - top notch air quality :clap:

Very humid 22C at 818AM here in St.John's with the threat of a rare thunderstorm. We shall see.

Up to 19 now. A bit of cloud - looks like a nice long weekend coming up.

6 degrees here in Camrose, AB with light cloud. A high of 28 in the sun today.

23C and 28C himidex readings at 1230PM here in St.John's. The expected rain and thunderstorm never materialized, so now we have a sunny and breezy hot summer's day.

25C with a 30C humidex reading makes this the hottest day of the year here in St.John's. These are the days I was dreaming about as we nearly set records for record cold days in Feb.

An absolutely perfect evening here on my front porch. Warm but not hot, humid but not sticky. Fingers of mauve coloured clouds fade into the horizon as magic hour approaches. The whir of distant lawnmowers and the soft hum of air conditioners fill the air. The shouts of children playing hide and seek. and the hound laying on his side taking it all in.

Lovely.

Same here, mrj. 22C out on my back deck, a nice breeze to keep things mild, and the half moon again is rising out of the east. At 10PM there are no lawnmowers out ........... just the sound of my doxies wandering the back garden in search of badgers. Paix, mon ami.

23 and clear - looking forward to a long ride tomorrow - mmmmm Port Dover perch feed coming up.
Gets dark too early already :(

18C and cloudy this morning, but with a nice ocean breeze to help make the air fresh and clean.

11 in Camrose this morning on the way to a high of 30 today.

23C with a 27C humidex reading as we approach 4PM. However, the predicted rain has not materialized.

A sever thunderstorm warning has been issued for most of the northern half of Alberta, a massive system on the way.

Sinc, Environment Canada is also predicting the possibility of "large hail". Stay safe, mon ami.

Leduc - Camrose - Wetaskiwin - Tofield
10:21 AM MDT Saturday 1 August 2009
Severe thunderstorm watch for
Leduc - Camrose - Wetaskiwin - Tofield issued

Possible severe thunderstorms this afternoon and this evening.

This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds.

16C with a low of 11 tonight. Overcast, and the rain/thunder of the last few days has finally stopped for a while. No doubt there's more to come. A high of 18 expected for Sunday... 11:50PM.

19C and humid as the anticipated rain never really came. A bit of a mist, but that was all. Sunshine and 23C tomorrow.

Stlll 23 - gorgeous for riding tho it seems everyone in the GTA thought the same thing....damn it was busy at Port Dover, Port Colborne and Niagara Falls.....all jammed....
Very balmy night.

Here in Boston it is 24 C and 75% humidity......and you can smell the sea! :)

Here in Boston it is 24 C and 75% humidity......and you can smell the sea! :)

Here in St.John's it is 18.5C and 87% humidity ................ and we too can smell the Atlantic Ocean. The night has a real clean smell to it.

The sea's about 26 miles away from where I live. Heck, I can't ever remember smelling it even when the wind was blowing in the correct direction. We sometimes get seagulls here on the odd occasion though.

Okay, some blue sky but dark clouds too. Temp. is currently 15 on its way to a high of 19, 1C higher than was predicted in my last post last night. A bit breezy too and it's coming from your direction Dr.G, the SW. 10:55AM.

20 and cloudy - rain predicted but none showing.

18 with no sign of the dark clouds of earlier - I'd say it's now 70/30 blue sky/white fluffy cloud. Wind's almost zero too... Not bad at all. 2PM.

13 here in Camrose this morning in bright sunshine. a welcome change after last night's disaster here that killed one and injured 15. Details on my web site.

Warm and cloudy to start the day. Looks like some possible rain on its way...Summer just does not want to stay around much this year.

Sunny and 21C here in St.John's at just before 12 noon. A light ocean breeze makes it feel great even in the sunshine, since there is no humidity. Off to mow the lawn now.

Cloudy at 21 C with a chance of showers in the afternoon - hopefully not.

Heavy downpour this morning; hopefully it'll be the only one of the day. Off to clean out the eavestroughs now that it's only drizzling. :ptptptptp

22 and sunny :clap:

21C and sunny.

23 and clouding over a bit..

16C and now completely cloudy. 7:00PM.

18C and still sunny here in St. John's at 510PM.

14 and almost dark outside. No wind or rain, just 90% cloudcover. A high of just 20 predicted for tomorrow, with yes you guessed it, rain... 9:50PM.

While the thermometer says 21, the humidity is so high it feels like 28 and we are once again under a severe thunderstorm warning for the second day in a row:

About 65 F and 100% humidity here in Kennebunkport, ME...The thick clouds have fallen to the ground and one cannot see across the street. It's not actually raining but the trees, windows and walls drip anyways.

Oh and you can still smell the sea - and that's a big deal for this Alberta Girl.

20 and we are still under a severe thunderstorm warning. The skies to the west are deep purple as we near darkness.

13C, with cloudy skies and a hint of a breeze at the breakfast hour. Humidity is down real low and has been for the past week or so. All in all it looks like it could be a reasonable day today...

15C and cloudy with some much needed rain forecast for later today. We shall see.

A cool morning at only 9 on the way to an unseasonable 16.

16C at 11AM with a very light mist in the air. Very refreshing.

Currently 12 on the way to 18 with showers today.

A balmy 21 at 5.30 am

Cloudy and 18C here in St.John's this morning, going up to 24C.

Looks like a good day in Bar Harbor today - but maybe some T-Storms tomorrow!

23 already and muggy heading to 28 and muggier...:D - an August day..

22C with a 28C humidex reading, but a nice ocean breeze is helping keep things pleasant.

25 and climbing fast

23C with a 28C humidex reading and NO ocean breeze. Hot and humid this afternoon.

14 with showers this afternoon and a high of only 18 today.

15C with a high of 23 predicted for today. A peek outside shows no wind and darkish clouds, though there is a hint of blue sky visible. Humidity was a tad high last night but it's not too bad this morning. 6:15AM.

A chilly 14 after a high of 28 :eek: clear - big moon....did not realize how cold it was - slightly under dressed for a late night jaunt and then no warm up in the hot tub :( ....power must have gone out

18C with a bit of sun, high humidity and no wind. Going up to 23C and a muggy day I fear without any ocean breeze. We shall see.

9 under scattered cloud on the way to 20 here today.

Damn only 12 degrees this am :eek:

Another wet, chilly day. SW AB and most of the rest of Canada seems to be well on its way to the coldest summer on record.

Global Warming my a:greedy::greedy:.

22C and cloudy. It turned out to be a very warm and dry July for us here in St.John's.

25C with a 32C humidex reading and no wind to speak of ............ making this one of the hottest days I have experienced in my 32 years here in St.John's.

A nice pleasant 18 at the moment with a light cloudbase and the sun peeking out when it wants to. Mind you it's approaching 8 in the evening so this state of affairs won't be around for much longer...

Another COTU bit of nonsense from Alberta denidiots..
Someone doesn't quite understand Arctic dipole pattern and a lingering bit of La Nina :rolleyes:

Just ask BC where new high temp records fall everyday.....

Meanwhile it's a pleasant 24 in the REAL COTU :D

Hmm, well it's 11:55PM and currently 17C according to weather.com, but having just got back from the pub the car thermometer was reading 14. Quite a discrepancy. Looks like I'll have to get one of those mini Oregon Scientific weather station jobbies :D.
Anyway there's no rain, just the usual cloudbase as I mentioned in my previous post. And obviously no sun at this time of night...

According to Weather.com the weather in my neck of the woods currently is:

http://i26.tinypic.com/amckuf.jpg

Yeh, right. Skies are completely blue, current temp. is 13C, no wind whatsoever and humidity is nowhere near 82%, more like 40... 8:40AM.

13 this morning and headed north to 21 with cloudy periods and a chance of showers.

17C at just past 8AM going up to 27C. If we have humidity, the humidex level may may this one of the hottest days in the history of St.John's. We shall see.

It's now 18 at almost the noon hour with an expected high of 21. Wind has indeed picked up from zero to a slight breeze, and white fluffy clouds are here and there in the blue sky. A lovely, though with the low humidity, cool feeling of a day.

20C at 1030AM. At this rate, if the sun comes out as forecast, we might break out record of 28C set back in 1970. We shall see.

Well it never got to the predicted 20, but remained at 18 throughout the day. Clouds have now moved in and no blue sky is visible, however I can't see it raining before bedtime. A low of 13 tonight and a predicted 19 for tomorrow, with the same weather as today. 6:05PM.

28C with the humidex at just past 3PM. Hot and humid here in St.John's.

Last weather post of the day. 16C and dark outside, there's no wind and no rain materialized as I stated in my earlier post. Should be a good night. 10:25PM.

715PM and 22C with a 27C humidex reading. A nice breeze is coming in from the southwest to help make this a fine evening.

Pleasant 22- gets dark too early :(

Going down to 7 tonight at my fav coffee shop :eek:

20C with no humidex readings and still a nice breeze out of the southwest. A beautiful evening.

Morning. A nice blue sky punctuated with the odd white fluffy cloud, a very very light breeze, and a current 16C on its way to a 19 high, should make today another fine one. 9:35AM.

A bit of rain and 20C this morning. Finally ............. We need the rain.

9 here in Calgary this morning. It is 15 in Swift Current, my destination for today. Rain is forecast there, total 15 mm today, so it looks like I will be wet setting up camp this afternoon.

Here in SW AB woke up to blue skies and 7°C. Forecast is calling for cloudy and rain for most of today so we shall see weather or no we managed to escape the rain a day earlier than predicted.

Heavy rain is forecast for overnight, and we really do need it right now.

23C with a 29C humidex ready. Very sticky with only a bit of a breeze.

Currently 16C at 8:40 in the evening, with a light cloud cover and a hint of a breeze in the upper reaches of the tall trees outside my window. Looks like another nice night is on the cards, with a low of 11 and low humidity to boot. If the status quo holds, and I reckon it will, a BBQ could well be taken late afternoon/early evening tomorrow :clap:. Anyone is welcome to join us, just bring the drinks :D.

21C with a 27C humidex reading which should drop now that we are getting some real much needed rain.

Fog and 18C at 735AM here in St.John's. A very quiet start to the weekend ............. which is fine with me.

Currently 18C here too Dr. G., but the completely blue sky of early (7:00AM) this morning is gradually disappearing to be replaced by cloud cover :(. Hopefully the rain will stay away. 11:20AM.

Znook, we really needed the overnight rain. Tomorrow's sunshine will make up for today's fog.

So, how is Life treating your across the pond?

At the moment Dr. G. life's not too bad - just been out doing some honeysuckle pruning, greenfly blighters have destroyed the flowers this year. I'm now chillin' out, cruisin' the web, and will soon be enjoying a lovely plate of Cod, french fries, mushrooms, tomatoes and Hellman's mayonnaise. Geez, I'm salivating just writing that spiel :D. A BBQ may well be on the cards for later this afternoon, can't see any rain coming to be honest but you never know here in the NW of England. Then around 9:30 tonight out to the local bar for a pint or two. Well it's right on the noon hour now. Have a great day :).

Sounds, good, Znook. I have never been to England, but my son spent a semester studying at Memorial University's Harlow campus. He went all over England while there and loved the country.

9 here in Swift Current, Saskatchewan under cloudy skies with light rain and a high of 19 today.

Good luck on your journey, Sinc.

Okay it's almost time for bed at just gone the midnight hour. Current temp. according to weather.com is 17C, but the car thermometer on the return from the bar read 14C so take your pick. I'll go for the lower as it's definitely nippy outside tonight. As I'd predicted no rain ever came but it did become quite overcast around the 5:00PM mark, and the BBQ was postponed as a result. No worries, we'll see what tomorrow holds (the forecast being a high of just 19.) We'll see. Sláinte!

12 this morning here in Swift Current and a pleasant week ahead with highs in the upper 20's all week long.

Morning, Sinc. 17C and lots of sunshine here this morning in St.John's. We have some "swift currents" as well, winds off of the ocean. Stay safe on your journey of discovery.

20 and muggy already with a high nudging 30 - a/c day fer sure....

21C with lots of sunshine and a strong ocean breeze. Great day to work out in the garden.

Dark sky - banging and thumping off in the distance...22 but humid..fast moving cell.

Something wicked on the way

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/Picture91-1.jpg

and now it's here....LOTS of lightning - still blinking from the last flash....:eek:

Dark then deluge. So much for the yard work.

Helloooo nap!

Wow, that does look potentially dangerous. Wishing all of you well in that area of ON.

Yes they have a severe weather watch on ...nothing like what the two China's are getting tho :eek:
21 and calmed down for the moment....

MacDoc, what sort of weather is China getting today?

um China — Area: 9,326,410 SQ KM

Canada: 9,984,670 sq km

;)

Need to narrow your question there a bit.....

25 and sunny here...humidity dropping finally.

That was the most awesome lighting show i have ever witnessed!! The thunder and amount of rain was insane as well! Muggy as all get out

Yeah heard it in the background..was engrossed in a movie - was afraid the power was going to go out.

Wow - nasty looking - that blew up quickly....

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/Picture95.jpg

21 and muggy...94%

14C and a crystal clear sky at 1222AM. Bon soir, mes amis.

22 ...fun wow
Severe thunderstorms sweep Ontario - The Globe and Mail (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/severe-thunderstorms-sweep-ontario/article1246343/)

No thunderstorms here thankfully, just a constant drizzle since early this morning. Temp. is currently 15C with an expected high of 19, and further rain is to follow throughout the day. 9:25AM.

23 and clear for the moment but more Tstorms predicted. Very high humidity.

13 here in Val Marie, Saskatchewan and we'll double that to a warm 26 in the sun today.

Very sunny and 22C, going up to 25C this afternoon, but with no humidex readings (we hope).

We hit our 25C and now it is cooling off a bit to 23C. Some much needed rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week, with a sunny weekend forecast.

25 and the humidity is dropping but there is a monster looming to the north....huge cu - even the big jets are going around it....reminds me of what I saw the day the Barrie Tornado hit.

It's got a big lenticular wave cloud downwind of it...it's that big....:eek:

And there is a severe Tstorm watch on - these ARE tornado conditions....there is a steep gradient...:(

The Squirreldays of summer....all tuckered out from the heat...time for a snooze

Photos of thunder storm
Wow, what a storm. Star photographers and several readers shared their photos of last night's spectacular thunderstorm taken at different vantage points in the GTA. More thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening, clearing by Tuesday morning. (August 10, 200

'Nother big one lurks....

Wow, that was like the storms we got in Athens, Georgia during the three years I was there working on my doctorate. When I was teaching in Waycross, Georgia for two years, the storm would be right above us at times, and once a bolt of lightening hit a tree about 50 feet where I was sitting on my front porch. It actually made my fillings hurt in my mouth and I can't describe the intense light for that brief moment.

Checked Environment Canada to see what we are getting tonight -- "Increasing cloudiness. A few showers beginning overnight. Fog patches developing overnight." No thunder and lightening. :(

Funny I was just thinking it felt like a Georgia weather pattern - I recall from driving down with my parents in the late 50s and early 60s.

Just missing flireflies...

Still 25 - nothing showing on radar - but not sure I want to risk a ride :(

South Georgia fireflies would go and hide just before such a storm.

Definitely no fireflies round this neck of the woods...

Okay, it's currently 16C on its way to a high of 21. Whether it gets there is another matter as there's heavy cloud cover at the moment, and it's quite breezy too. We'll see. 9:10AM.

Znook, no fireflies here as well. Rain, drizzle and fog, with 17C right now this morning. If the truth be known, we need the rain.

A lovely morning at 14 here in Lafleche, Saskatchewan, the place of my birth, with a sizzling 32 for a high today.

24 and more Tstorms....

The rain has stopped and now the fog approaches off of the ocean with 18C here on land. No meteor shower viewing tonight. :(

Somebody somewhere has sent us rain :mad:; it's now been raining constantly since approx 4:00PM and it's now 11:50PM. In fact looking at the five day forecast it's nothing but rain until Saturday. Current temp. according to weather.com is 17C and, on the way back from the pub, also 17C according to the car thermometer so they must be right... Anyway, it's nearly time for bed. Hope you've all had a great day!

Znook, I fear that would be us here in NL. It slowly stopped raining as the storm went eastward into the Atlantic Ocean ............... next stop, Great Britain. Sorry.

Well thank you very much Dr. G. just what we wanted ;).

I guess, as long as it doesn't flood everywhere out, rain is better than 30+ degrees for days on end.

And on that note my trusty Blackbook is going to sleep now, me soon after as I'm completely shattered... see you all tomorrow.

Good night, Znook. Come over to the Shangri-la Clubhouse thread for some tea tomorrow morning. Or coffee. Weather should be nice there. Paix, mon ami.

Good morning people, it's a cool 16C here, overcast and though it's not raining at the moment I'm sure it soon will be. A high of just 19 expected for today. 8:35AM.

Dr.G. I'll have a wander round the streets to see if I can find this elusive Clubhouse ;).

A foggy 15C to start the morning here in St.John's ............ a quiet time of the day.

A pleasant 18 - welcome change. :clap:

It's brightened up nicely since this morning though it's still overcast - no rain thankfully. Currently 17C at 11:25AM.

Morning, Znook. It is a thread in the Everything Else folder. Seek and ye shall find. Paix, mon ami.

Good weather headed your way from here ................. the sun is breaking through the fog.

28 and very humid here in Moose Jaw, Sk, camped on the river bank.

The view out the front window of the motor home:

Mmm, very nice SINC. Reminds me of when I used to drive a motorhome, but gas prices here got way too high to continue to do so. Still miss it though.

A cool 15C here at 11:50PM, no rain but it remains overcast. A low of 11 and a high of 20 expected tomorrow.

Dr.G., that reference to my finding the Shangri-La Clubhouse was only a jest - I've already seen the thread but never had the time really to go in there and post. I would've posted this morning but this board seems to throw a wobbly every now and then and posts just don't appear when I click submit. That happened this morning and I gave up in the end. Just keep that coffee pot fresh and piping hot on the off chance I can get in there...

Clear night an 14C. Must go outside now to see if any meteorites are still falling.

Hi Sinc, I envy you, based on the view from your RV. No snow though........not quite the Moose Jaw I remember.

Okay, let's see how this board behaves this morning...

Currently blue sky for once with a bit of cloud, sun is shining and it's 16C at 8:50AM. Looks like it'll be a good day for once.

Kudos on your good weather, Znook. You folks have earned it this summer.

10C and sunny, going up to 24C with lots of sunshine. A fine summer's day here in St.John's.

13 here in Moose Jaw on the way to 26 today. Will aim to cover 500 km today or about half way home.

After weeks of often heavy rain & severe thunderstorms, finally...

:)

Lovely day today 21 and sunny -

Same here, MacDoc. 21C with lots of sunshine and a clean ocean breeze. Paix, mon ami.

Big time nice day - 25 with low humidity and a wind from the NW :clap: Sun fried time too.

It's 17C with a 50/50 blue sky/cloud split, and a tad breezy too. Humidity is 45%. However overall it's been quite a nice T-shirt day. Can't see it lasting though as the predictions show rain for tomorrow and Saturday. We'll see. 6:50PM.

23C at 5PM with just a light ocean breeze. The end of a great afternoon.

Dr.G. you just love slipping in that ocean reference don't you, makes me want to drive to the sea (28 miles to the west of me) and take in that salty sea air :D.

Okay, it's 9:45PM and 15C with a low of 14 expected overnight. Sky just as before 50/50 though the breeze has almost gone now. Humidity still the same around 40-50%...

17, overcast with light rain here in Medicine Hat, AB.

I am only a few kilometers from the ocean. Here is The Narrows, the entrance to the St.John's Harbor, one morning in October.

I'm sure you've shown me that photo before Dr.G. but as it's a good one I don't mind seeing it again :D.

Sorry, come to think of it I did post this before. Still, as Hemmingway once wrote, "The sun also rises". Paix, mon ami.

Beautiful evening, with 17C and a light ocean breeze.

A very nice morning here in the NW of England. A slightly cool 14C but sunny skies are sure to make it warmer as the day goes on. The forecast is still for rain but looking at that sky I somehow doubt it. We'll see. 8:55AM.

Same sort of weather here, Znook. 17C and cloudy, going up to 23C with some sunshine ........ and maybe some sunshine overnight. As the old saying goes "Red sky at night ..... sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning .......... sailors take warning."

13 here in Medicine Hat on the way to only 18 with showers all day long.

19 degrees 0 no wind...bit of humidity. A hot summer weekend in store high 20s low 30s. All sun.

HOT AND MUGGY... Summer is finally here.

Currently 18C here, going to 30+ which we are assured will "feel like" 34. A good day to curl up with a cold case of beer.... Not a good day for catching up on the yardwork that has been ignored through the last month while we got through preparation and actualisation of my daughter's wedding. The bush behind the house has gone completely feral but I'm ignoring that until the cooler weather comes... :D

"The bush behind the house has gone completely feral but I'm ignoring that until the cooler weather comes..." A wise move, rgray. It will be there when you get the right weather. Paix, mon ami.

20C with some sun, going up to 23C with some more sun, but no humidity and a refreshing ocean breeze. A fine summer's day here in St. John's.

up to 27 and feels like 30 already...

21C at 2PM and it feels a bit chilly as the sun has gone behind the clouds and the ocean breeze has picked up a bit.

17C with a beautiful ocean breeze at 10PM. A grand evening.

8 this morning on the way to a sunny 19 today.

6:00 a.m., 21 degrees - already starting to feel muggy. 30 later today and tomorrow, 31 Monday.

18c @ 0615... opened all windows to get the early breeze. Will have to close up shortly as we're headed for 30-feels-like-35 this afternoon...

Another good day to http://www.accordwagonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_jook.gif

Sounds like a reasonable plan, rgray. Enjoy.

18C with lots of sunshine, going up to 25C with lots of sunshine. A strong ocean breeze keeps any threat of this day getting too hot and humid away from us here in St.John's.

Sounds like a reasonable plan, rgray. Enjoy.

Well, 'they' do say we should keep hydrated on these hot, sultry days.... :D

Well, 'they' do say we should keep hydrated on these hot, sultry days.... :D

Very true, rgray. Water is essential .............. and the hops in each brew will keep you jumping. :lmao:

Paix, mon ami.

Looks like rain, smells like rain, feels like rain, tastes like rain.... Good thing I didn't step in it. :)

But I did dig a little trench that can now sub as a temporary pool and/or fishing pond. Should've grown rice this year, too.

Shhteammy...

- Whew -

This is what summer in Toronto feels like.

Whew! As of 4 pm it's now feels like according to the weather report 36C!

It's not been too bad a day today. Some heavy downpours intersected with some blue sky and sunshine. Currently 17C at 11:50PM, overcast but no rain, and a low of 12 predicted. A high of just 19 for tomorrow. We'll see.

Evening, Znook. Still 20C here at 945PM, which is quite rare for this late at night and in mid-August.

9:16 p.m. and still 24. Hot again tomorrow and they're predicting 32 on Monday.

8 and headed north to 22 and sunshine today.

Sunshine and 21.5C at 915AM here in St.John's. Going to be a warm day if this ocean breeze lets up. We shall see. Enjoy the day of rest, mes amis.

8 and headed north to 22 and sunshine today.

Damn! Sounds really nice....

It is 22 here @ 0800! Going on to 30-feels-like-36......

Yet another excellent day to http://www.accordwagonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_jook.gif .......

Yep, really nice:

A clear night with a light ocean breeze and 13C. Going back up to 22C with sunshine tomorrow.

9:52 p.m., 25 stinking degrees, very humid. And I've caught a lousy summer cold to boot. :ptptptptp :ptptptptp
