Sun is hot today, and the grass is finally cut.... :)
Smells great.... I love it... !
We are at 19C and for me this is more than perfect!! too bad I don't eat BBQ or Iwould be out there roasting something!! LOL !

Still 12C with clear skies. Able to do a bit of stargazing before the haze from off of the Atlantic came drifting on in.

Nearly 8:00 p.m. and still 24° and a repeat of 27° again tomorrow.

Day has to be described as perfect. Nothing but blue skies and sunshine. Almost no wind. We topped out at 22°C though it felt warmer. Still 20°C as we approach 8 PM

Almost 8 pm and sitting at 20C right now, no wind makes it feel a lot warmer,,,,

10 p.m., a perfect 16 degrees outside, hot as ****ing hell inside!!! Need to be outside now!

13° this morning on the way to a hot 28°, a perfect day to be on the road to Saskatchewan in the motor home.

14 now and up to 28.... won't see me out much bit on the warm side for me, a wee breeze might make it better...

Glad you are off on your trip, stay cool Sinc!

2 fabulous days in a row. I believe we are allowed a total of 10 days of summer and we have already seen two of them.:D

26 C right now, very hot, I was out for just about a half hour and my face id red.... too much for me!

A lovely sunny morning here in Battleford SK. at 14° on the way to a warm 25° today.

sitting at 12C and on the way to 23... I hope I don't have to be out in it today!!

Partly sunny and 14C. A fine day here in St.John's.

Cool, cloudy and windy. Two nice days in a row is clearly pushing the envelope for June in SW AB.

Still we have eight more days of summer coming before we exceed the annual quota. :D

Wow, you get 8 days of summer!?! Lucky you. We get 4-6 days in July when the temps, with the humidex, will get from 25-30C.

Wow, you get 8 days of summer!?! Lucky you. We get 4-6 days in July when the temps, with the humidex, will get from 25-30C.

Nope we got 10, the fact that two of them showed up on our doorstep while it is still officially spring does not detract from their summer status. It is quite possible 9 and 10 will drop in on us during October.:D

:lmao::lmao: how true, but don't forget the 2 days in January when we could go golfing....
I think that was probably left over from last year though, so it may not count in this year's quota... :lmao:

We might get a bonus day in August for all the rain and hail last week.... ;)

Summery day mid 20s but some humidity - nice out now 20 degrees. Smells wonderful - rain was great.

Sunny and 14C as we approach 7PM. The end of a wild weather day, with wind/rain/fog/drizzle and now sunshine and blue skies.

16c here, with rain and lightening forecast... sort of humid .... (for Alberta)

16c here, with rain and lightening forecast... sort of humid .... (for Alberta)

For those of you sweltering in the eastern swamps, any RH above 15% is considered humid in southern Alberta.:D

12C with 61% humidity here in Canada's far east, eMacMan.

hopefully there is a wee atlantic breeze to blow it all awAY?? OR AT LEAST MAKE YOU MORE COMFORTABLE... oops sorry caps on inadvertently, 'pologize .... my bad

A beautiful sunrise is starting to fade away. Still, it was good while it lasted.

11° with a high of 21 here and 19 back home today.

Sunny and 9C this morning. A fine day in the making.

After a couple of indecisive days the rain has settled back in. May be the shortest El Nino on record.

Maybe instead of just promising Global Warming, the Gore Gang could actually send some of it here.:ptptptptp

This should prove to be interesting since all the trees now have leaves on them. We shall see.

Warnings from Environment Canada

St. John's and vicinity
2:58 PM NDT Wednesday 16 June 2010
Wind warning for St. John's and vicinity continued

Strong northwesterly winds gusting to over 100 km/h are expected this afternoon and evening.

8C and cloudy, sure to rain, more... we have had showers on and off all day so far, last trip out I got wet, so it is settling down for a long haul I think!

Beautiful sunset but the winds are starting to pick up. Gusts are now 54km/h and that should more than double overnight. We shall see.

well rainfall warning is redundant for sure, it has been sogging all day, but there is a chance of lightening, everything is sopping wet.... and more of the same tomorrow! 9C right now..

A cool 7C but with clear skies, the stars are quite visible.

well rainfall warning is redundant for sure, it has been sogging all day, but there is a chance of lightening, everything is sopping wet.... and more of the same tomorrow! 9C right now..

Ditto here.

Dinner beside a nice big fire helped overcome the chill. Other than that we reached a pathetic high of 8°C.

10° this morning on the way to 20° under cloudy skies today.

Lots of sunshine and 10C, going up to 16C this afternoon. Rushing to get as much laundry out on the line today. Later ............

Ditto here.

Still at 8c and still raining.... XX)

:(:(:(

15C and very bright sunshine.

Noah rain.:ptptptptp

The local Indians are trying to track down a Global Warming Alarmist. They seem to think that a sacrificial drowning of a member of the Gore Gang might just break the pattern. I do wish them luck in this endeavour as it would seem to be our only hope for relief.beejacon

Dark clouds and very humid at 13°.

I hear that SK is getting bad rainfalls that will make planting difficult if not impossible this year. How sad. Some years they get no rain and other years too much rain. :(

I saw many water soaked unplanted fields on the way to Battleford. It's too late to plant them now. Seed has to be in the ground by the May long weekend to produce a crop. Dull, overcast and 14°, but no rain.

Here in Calgary its 9C, I moved here at the end of 2008, this place honestly sucks :P, the weather changes so quickly.. and it gets really cold in winter, I mean even more then Ontario or Quebec... sometimes it reaches -30C..

Come to St. John's, NL .............. where it rarely goes above or below 20C + or -, and you have the city with the most fog, the least amount of sunshine and the most snow of any major Canadian city. :D

My wife is from Calgary and she misses your weather.

15° but dark clouds loom although nary a drop of rain and none forecast.

Friends in Saskatoon report that they are expecting at least 2-3 inches of rain today and tonight. :(

They say southern Alberta is getting another 80 to 100 mm of rain again today.

9C and 87% humidity, he rain is tiny and so it will probably carry on for another day, it is seeping into everything, and I am chilled to the bone, haven't had that happen in a long time, (not since I left the east... BC rain isn't so chilly but it is just as wet!!

Yes, we know all about that bone chilling dampness here in St.John's that makes a 2C temp feel worse than an -30C prairie cold spell. My wife hates it when it is less than 10C and damp here in St.John's. Good luck staying warm and dry. It can't last for much longer.

That's what i keep telling myself, but for once the weatherman is on target... never happens when it is sunny!!

Hang in there ............. the Canadian Farmers' Almanac has you folks in for a long hot/dry summer. It's still Spring for you folks.

Little too 'springy' for me!! LOL!
And long and hot isn't anymore appealing.... so i won't toss the fans out yet....

Bonne chance, mon amie.

A very warm 17° approaching 10:00 p.m. Nice!

A truly beautiful sunrise a couple of hours ago and now it is 10C and sunny. A grand start to the day.

15 and wonderfully clear air - heading to 26.

15 and wonderfully clear air - heading to 26.

Clear air is the key, MacDoc. When people from the GTA come here to St.John's for vacations and conferences, especially in the summer, you see them with a smile on their faces ............. they don't miss the heat/humidity/smog.

All soggy, but no rain so far, but it will come back, rained most of the night, forecast was for 100m by today, I think that was included the last couple of days ... Edmonton way have had very little rain I understand, we have been drenched!
Out crops down here will be floating down the highway, there are slews all over the place.... (massive water puddles....the ducks swim in them ... cattle drink from them.... ) My sub pump has been kicking in and I couldn't figure the noise, it has been so long since I heard it run!!
We are sitting at 10C and the humidity is down from yesterday, hopefully a sign of a dry spell, for a spell !

13° this morning and a high of 23 with a mix of sun and cloud today. I saw plenty of sloughs on the way to Saskatchewan as well macdoodle. (We don't even have a sump pump in our home. We're high and dry. ;) )

13° this morning and a high of 23 with a mix of sun and cloud today. I saw plenty of sloughs on the way to Saskatchewan as well macdoodle. (We don't even have a sump pump in our home. We're high and dry. ;) )

I am pretty dry here too, only in extreme cases, plus my neighbour has her drains from the roof pointed right at me... so i do get a bit that way, (she is in Greece and Italy at the moment, I am to water her plants.... :lmao: they are pretty traumatized let me tell you!

Forgive my mis-spell of sloughs, I have never seen it written, only spoken, the person I asked how to spell it, didn't know... so i went with the 'sound' thanks for teaching me something new today. at least it won't be a sad day now!! (Grandmas saying, 'tis a sad day you don't learn something new.... in her scottish burr, I can her her yet, and see the finger waving for emphasis!) :lmao:

I don't ...................... I make those sorts of mistakes ALL the time. :D

15° on the way to 24° with afternoon thunderstorms. A nice week ahead, sunny and warm in the mid to high 20's.

Supposed to dry out a bit today. Depends on whether the blue skies to the east or the rain clouds to the west win the battle.

24 feels like 28 - very muggy and somewhat grey. Heading to 27

Sunny blue skies and 15C here in St.John's. A great way to start the weekend.

15 on the way to 20.. sun's out, grass is green and I am having my favourite Buffalo Burger for lunch, on the steps outside!!

Already 20° in bright sun with a light breeze on the way to 24°. A perfect day for me.

16C and sunshine that "would split the rocks", as they say here in St.John's. A fantastic day, with a light ocean breeze to keep the air fresh.

Perishing. Hot and muggy even in belfountain 30+. Feels much warmer and I
in the shade
home to ac and soccer or golf.

23° in birght sunlight is just perfect with a light breeze and low humidity. Now to settle in to watch the US Open. ;)

Yuk. 17C still as we prepare to have a BBQ outside on our back deck.

AHHH! can see and smell the day... how lucky are you.... I am wanting home with phrases like that!! :lmao:

It is 20C here, and just in from a good long play of ball and healthy walk, (I park the car near the bottom of the road splitting the fields, and throw the ball for the 'catcher' all the while walking up to a 'spot' ...
Good fun. but quite warm ... a welcome change... ;)

Still 29 - wow just too warm this afternoon.

A very pleasant 20°C this evening, light breeze, thin clouds but for the most part Ol Sol finally won the battle today. First time in over a week that he has made an appearance here in SW-AB.

A beautiful first quarter moon is overhead and it is still 12C this evening. A fine night.

A nice day to drive to Creemore and check out the little town of good beer! Hot too..wow

Still 21° and thundershowers with big boomers have dumped some rain on us. Same deal tomorrow with a high of 26° and more T-storms for Father's Day.

20 now at midnight - tempted to go riding. hmmmmmm not a tstorm in sight.

19 at 7 am heading to 27 but the humidity is gone :clap: ..a VERY summery week for the GTA coming up.

13° and half way to our high of 26° today. Nice day for Dad to BBQ.

Sunny and 19C at just past 10AM. We are going to have a UV index 8, which is very high for us at any time of the year.

16° at just after 8:00 a.m. It's gonna be a scorcher with T-storms late in the day. We had a couple of doozies yesterday and today should be even better. I love T-storms!

Sinc, I too love T-storms, but they are so rare here in St.John's. Hit 25C this afternoon, and some clouds rolled in, but no thunder/lightening/rain so far.

20 C right now, and the sun has been a glorious change... it is hot outdoors though!!

Cool inside... :)

26° here now and likely to get higher. We're in for a nice week:

25 at 6.30 pm - lovely air compared to the muggy stuff earlier. Bit too windy tho.

We've passed our high and now sit at 28°.

Still 19C as the sun slowly starts to set here in St.John's. The end of a glorious day.

21C at 6 ish ( pm) however the dry is about to end yet again... weather warning for wind and thunderstorms, tomorrow.... GRRRR Glad you had a good day all....

Still 25° just after 8:00 p.m.

15C just past 8AM, which is warm for us here in St.John's.

Just gone the noon hour and it's 19C with 80% blue sky/20% light clouds. It's on days like this that it feels great to be alive. Long may it continue.

15° with a 30% chance of showers and a high of 24° today.

Just gone the noon hour and it's 19C with 80% blue sky/20% light clouds. It's on days like this that it feels great to be alive. Long may it continue.

A fine sentiment, Znook. Always glad to hear that our neighbors "across the pond" are getting some nice weather. Peace, my friend.

19C at just past 11AM and there is a chance of a bit of thunder and lightning this afternoon, which is very rare here in St.John's. We shall see.

16 now, high of 17 .T& L on the way... :eek: rain arrived...or is it?/

Soft hail or hard rain... sounds awful ...

A nice 22C at 6:25PM here. It looks like this good weather of blue skies will last until Wednesday though, as always, we shall see.

22° here as well as we approach the noon hour. Clouds gathering though and it just might rain.

13C now, raining like heck up to an hour ago, more rain toady and tomorrow.... <sigh> it's getting to me....

Never did get our thunder and lightening. It rained and the temps fell from 20C to 17C in an hour.

We've surpassed out high of 24° and now sit at 27° which means we will likely push 30° by late afternoon.

Well, we got a slight rumble .............. and then the skies opened up. We could use the water so it is not much of a problem.

We've surpassed out high of 24° and now sit at 27° which means we will likely push 30° by late afternoon.

Don, just add a bit of rain to that and you will have a steam bath!

Drop in temp isn't always bad Marc!

True. 17C is nice and we can open up the windows even with the rain falling, since there is no wind.

Very comforting, since there is a large maple tree just outside of my home office window, and I love to hear the sound of the rain on the leaves.

Muggy air moving in but great night for a ride on my replacement wheels.
Pretty good moon too. 23 and a "warm summer night":clap:

it is 18C here, as of late this is a warm summer night, the constant rain has taken the joy and soaked it well!

Thunder and rain later...

Still 23° here with no sign of rain.

Another blue sky day here with a current temp. of 16C at 8:45AM. It's looking like another great day is on the cards.

Kudos to you, Znook. Send that sort of weather to this side of the pond. Peace, my friend.

Marc, I'm sure you know I would if I could :D

It's now 19 at 11:25AM. There'll be no sunbathing I'm afraid, too much to do inside unfortunately :(

Well, we have great weather forecast for St.John's ............. for tomorrow. So, today we shall take any and all warmth we might receive.

13° on the way to 24° with thunderstorms today. Looks like a very wet week ahead for us too.

A foggy 9C here this afternoon in St.John's.

Overcast and 15° this morning, but no rain yet.

10C and sunny here in St.John's.

HOt and muggy (for us) and more rain in the forecast... 20C and has been all morning, no wind lots of mosquitos, and plenty of standing water, half the fields are under, the ducks are just loving it!!

19° and the sun has just broken through for the first time today. We may get to 24° yet.

Down to 18C here at 9:15PM. With cloud cover increasing during the late afternoon/early evening I guess tomorrow's weather won't be as good as today though the forecast says otherwise. We shall see.

24 but feels less humid - lot of rain - farmers love it I'm sure

says 20 on the widgi but, 24 on the thermometer, humid, and had a big thunderstorm and tornado warnings all afternoon.... :eek:

But now just hot , humid, still, and quiet... as if the universe was waiting for the other shoe to drop!

7C and very still at just past 10PM. I was out with my binoculars looking at the moon. Very clear night and a great viewing experience.

21° and they are still calling for thunderstorms, the third night in a row that Environment Canada has done so and it looks very much like they will be wrong again. Oh well, that is normal around here for EC.

14C with beautiful blue skies and lots of sunshine .............. and it is only 830AM!!!

21C at 12:35PM. The increasing cloud cover of late yesterday has given way overnight to reveal a 70/30 mix of blue sky/light cloud. 22 is the expected high, with a low of 14 due overnight tonight.

A sunny morning at 12° on the way to 24 with showers again today.

21C and sunny at just before 1PM with a nice breeze to keep the air moving and fresh. A great day here in St.John's.

Sunny and 23C .......... the warmest day of the year so far.

Cloudy, 27 and umm small earthquake in the last 15 minutes.

Cloudy, 27 and umm small earthquake in the last 15 minutes.

Yes, I have been reading of the 5.5 quake in ON. Experienced on in Long Beach,CA, but it was over in about 7 seconds and we did not know what it was until it was over.

We've just had a weather warning issued and although they don't mention St. Albert, they do mention Spruce Grove, 20 km SW of us and Morinville, a scant 12 km to the north of us.

Maybe you are going to get the dreadful weather we have had lately, we have 23 right now and sunny and blue for a couple more days! The crashing and banging yesterday from the thunder was really bad, one young fellow I met at the bank was telling me he was on his horse to collect a bull, and lightening out of nowhere hit just behind him, he and the horse were trembling from the 'current' and the bull fell down... he said it was the wosst scare of his (young) life...

I hope you don't get that storm it was too close to the earth for comfort...

Well, all weather reports now have the warning including us:

Good luck, Sinc, since that sort of system can always turn into a tornado. Bon chance, mon ami.

Still 20C and sunny at 720PM, which is rare for St.John's this late in the day.

Our weather warning has been lifted and that is fine by me. Now 25° in bright sun and light winds.

We are at 22C now and no warning of thunder, but yesterday we even had a tornado warning! They removed it around 4pm.... it was ugly yesterday... hope you don't get it Sinc!

16C as we approach 10PM. A nearly full moon shines brightly in the clear night sky.

is it far to the ocean? would be stunning on such a night...

27 mugggggggy.:(
something wicked coming ??? :yikes:

Uh oh, it's back!

Uh oh, it's back!

Oh oH, that isn't good, watch out for tornadoes, they are around.... :eek:

Tie your motor home down and take in the beautiful lawn furniture... never know these days...

Uh, oh, it's backer:

Uh, oh, it's backer:

:lmao: that is pretty backer!! you are now in the warning... if it is like the smasher we had yesterday, believe me it isn't something you want to be out in... and LOUD! seems it was close to the earth, there was lightening and within 3 seconds thunder, and boy did it crack! :eek:

Damn it's thick out there and some lightning towards Toronto but moon is out here....go figure. :rolleyes: 25 and only slightly less muggy.

A beautiful sunrise a couple of hours ago got me up ............. and then I went back to sleep. Now, at lucky 7:11AM it is sunny and 11C. A grand morning.

Yet another dull and dreary day at 14° with thundershowers on the way to a high of 25°.

we are at 8C right now on the way to 16?? who knows... we will take what we get and so may as well enjoy it!!

Sunny and 15C. This might be the high for the day, but it is a beautiful day nonetheless.

Weather shift 19 and dry :clap:

it is after 10 pm and it is 21C... the wind is up a bit and it has that 'rain' feel in the air.... but a lovely night for sure...

15 - a lovely summer morning.

15C and cloudy here in St.John's. A very quiet and still morning ............ just right to end the week.

A lovely sunny morn at 13° with no wind and the birds singing loudly. A high of 23° will be comfortable with afternoon T-storms in the works.

11C on the way to 25, I will enjoy the now, as the later will be too hot,,,
Don't forget the sunscreen you sun worshipers!!

19C with the sun trying to break through the clouds.

Sunny with a light breeze and 18° at mid morning. It's gonna be a hot one.

Just under 20C with the sun starting to emerge. There is a light ocean breeze so it is a fine afternoon here in St.John's.

Just over 20C with lots of sunshine now and blue skies. A glorious way to end the work week.

Currently unavailable, probably broke the thermometer.... it is very hot!

Currently unavailable, probably broke the thermometer.... it is very hot!

At least you broke out of the cycle of cold and rain, macdoodle.

23°, comfortable and sunny with a light breeze. Very nice.

A beautiful sunset is forming and it is still 16C. No hint of any ocean haze which is typical for this time of day after a day of sunshine.

At least you broke out of the cycle of cold and rain, macdoodle.

This is true DrG sees like just last week I had on a winter parka and rainboots..... wait a minute, it was last week!!! :lmao::lmao:

Currently at 22 and expected temp on Monday is 27 or more.... they say it will just gradually go up over the weekend.... ya, sure... it will just get hot and stay there, no time to acclimate.... :lmao:

15C at just before 11PM and I just came in from gazing at the nearly full moon.

22 and lovely but rain on the way. Weekend of tennis and soccer and work :D

22 and lovely but rain on the way. Weekend of tennis and soccer and work :D

Well sounds like a fun weekend!! (if you enjoy your job that is ...:D

13° this morning with a high of 21° today. It has been raining steadily all night and the forecast is for more of the same all day long.

A beautiful sunrise at about 5AM has now brought us to full sunshine and 14C at nearly 8AM. This is the day I have been waiting for to spend outside in the garden.

12C here on the way to 23 and thunder and rain are forecast this afternoon.... just when things were beginning to dry out...

Very sunny, 22C and a light ocean breeze ............. making this a great day to be outside.

18° over the noon hour on the way to 21 under scattered cloud.

21C and still blue skies above and clean air all about us. Great BBQ weather.

19 grey but sun is trying. Kinda nice. All smells wonderful after the rain
quiet at the Shed in Belfountain as it was pouring earlier
A gentle summer day :)

Heading for 3pm and it is 22, sunny and no sign of thunder... so far...

A warm, quiet, still evening and still 21°.

Cloudy and 15C just past 8AM. A very quiet Sunday morning.

Beautiful day at 8C on the way to 27 this afternoon, no wind makes this a very quiet morning too...

It's already 16° on the way to a sunny 26° today, as hot as I would like, but no more.

We have moved to 13 already... so i expect it will be very hot this afternoon...

20° at 9:12 a.m. would indicate it is gonna be a scorcher.

well the widgi says 23C but it is 28 on the outdoor thermometer... wayyy too hot for me!! wee breeze tho, warm, but nice... almost noon... hottest part to come...

24° over the noon hour and with no breeze at all, it will be much hoter in four or five hours.

18C and cloudy. Still a quiet Sunday to work out in the garden.

4 :12 here and 28C slight breeze takes the edge off the heat...

26° here and very warm without any breeze.

Beautiful sunrise a few hours ago. Now, it is still sunny with blue skies and 12C temps.

23 already and muggy - heading to 27 - our last day of the heat for a bit.

Beautiful sunshine and 16C this morning. A slight ocean breeze is keeping the air clear and fresh. Smog and muggy weather is something we don't get here in St.John's, one of the few weather-related benefits of living here.

Big boomers with T-storms last night and it rained most of the night, great for lawns and gardens. It's 13° this morning and it looks like we are in for another same old, same old today as we hit 25° with T-storms again tonight.

Still 16C and sunny this afternoon here in St.John's.

20° and sunny with a very light breeze at noon, very pleasant.

15C but the clouds are rolling in so there goes star gazing for the night. Such is Life.

Cloudy and wet with overnight rain, so everything is green and still this morning here in St.John's.

Finally a lightning show last night complete with big boomers too. Sun every day and rain every night makes for a very green Alberta. Now sunny and 14 on the way to 24° with more of the same tonight.

Nearly 8 am and 17 already, muggy and overcast, so I am guessing rain may make an appearance... later....
So I am guessing everyone will have a little rain to ease the heat...

Sunshine and 13C this afternoon. A quiet end of the workday.

We're sitting at 26° under a severe thunderstorm watch at the moment, issued about 40 minutes ago.

11C and I sense the start of a beautiful sunset. The clouds are whispy and the birds are chirping, and all is right for it to bring on a gift of nature. We shall see.

Hmmmm, could be an interesting night. This just issued:

YIKES!! HAIL... RAIN, and the most gosh awful noise you ever heard!! XX)

The hail is huge! I wonder if Don got any of this mess!! Lasted all of 15 minutes.... now the sun is out ...go figure!

Glad I decided to come home a bit further west of that.

No hail here, but big boomers and very heavy rain. All is calm now and it is still 22° and the warnings are still in place:

Well it's 23 here and they NOW have the warning out... I think it's over for now... had a second storm but didn't last long, bigger hailstones, though...

A quite 10C and cloudy this morning here in St. John's.

12° on the way to 20° with T-storms today. Again.

The sun is out and it is turning into a fine day. Birds are singing and a gentle breeze keeps the air clean and fresh.

11C already, sun is out so I expect it to be very hot later, I hope you don't get the storm that blew through here yesterday Don... but with the heat and a cold front who can tell....

Marc, sounds like a wonderful day in your neighbourhood... I know you are reveling in this wonderful weather you are having, it came early, hope it stays late, it will make the winter shorter for certain... :)

Sunny and 12C, maddoodle. I guess it could be warmer, but at least it is not raining ............... or snowing. We have never had snow in late June/July/August.

This is what my wife has told me, since she grew up in Calgary and Edmonton. In bad winters here in St.John's, we get snow from Remembrance Day to the May 24th weekend. This year, we only had 10 feet of snow. Only once in my 33 winters here in St.John's have we got less snow, when we received 9 feet of snow.

The sun has broken through and it is now 15°. We may break our high of 20° after all.

Believe it or not, we are at 18C... and it is still morning!! (almost 10am) might be muggy... it is certainly mosquito land down here... so much standing water...

Relatives in Sask. tell us it is just terrible for mosquitos there too. Haven't noticed any here yet, although the city of Edmonton sprays for them every year and that help us as our city won't use the pesticides.

10° out there on the way to only 18° in the sunshine for Canada Day.

A nippy 11 degrees - lovely air on the way to 22 degrees. A perfect holiday.

Foggy and 10C here this morning in St.John's.

Should top out at around 20°C today. Perfect weather for a national holiday.

it says 4 on the widgi, but the thermometer say 9, supposed to be 21 or so today, there is a beautiful aroma floating through the town this morning, I could really notice it in the quiet of the morning, most pleasant...

15C and the sun is burning off the morning fog. Turning out to be a fine Canada Day here in St.John's.

11° and sunny with a revised high of 21 now today. Lovely weather for Canada Day.

An unreal forecast if it holds true. I have never experienced a week of sunshine in my 33 years here in St. John's. We shall see.

Hurricane, or rather, Tropical Storm Alex decided to go a bit further south than planned... as a result, Zacatecas (8700 feet, mountain desert) is looking more like the jungles of Chiapas... soaked!

Still 20 at 8pm and no wind - lovely out. Late night ride coming up I think.

Sorry to hear this, CM. Good luck, mi amigo.

A lovely evening at 14° and the Canada Day fireworks just beginning. The wimps and do gooders here hold them early for the kids to see which is a crock. It's still way too light to make a good show and what kid doesn't want to stay up late til midnight to see real fireworks in the dark. Remember it takes til then to get dark here in the north at this time of year. You can still read your newspaper on the front steps at 11:30 p.m. ;)

Agree Don, you can't get a decent view until dark, it's 11:30 now and ours are just over,
great turnout too... kids are allowed to be up for special stuff and if they can stay awake they won't miss it...

Tonight it is 12C and little wind, and that has made a perfect ending for a great day...

12C and the overnight fog and rain are now lifting. Should be a great day of sunshine. We shall see.

12° here as well this morning on the way to only 19° today with showers and sunny periods.

12 right now rain, and overcast ... XX) .... used up the sun for Canada Day.... ;)

Sweet week coming up 23 just now but a soccer game beckons.

Not as warm but just as sunny. 23C is hot for us here in St.John's, even in July. 20C now in full sunshine.

17° over the noon hour on the way to 20° under light cloud and sunny breaks.

A damp morning with a high RH (for us) at 78% and 11° on the way to 23° today. Wet weather will persist for the next few days.

Sunny and 16C this morning in St.John's, with a light ocean breeze to spread around all the sweet smells of summer. I dream about these sorts of days when I am shoveling snow in Jan. and Feb. Such grunt-work becomes a distant memory. :)

Sunny and 19°, but clouds are forming in the west and it sure do look like rain is in our future.

16C at 10PM and not a cloud in the sky. The end of a great day here in St.John's.

18 and clear..
Hot time summer in the city this week

Factor in the humidity and smog and that is going to be a tough week for the GTA. Bon chance, mon ami.

12° and a high of only 18° today with showers.

24 already at 9.30 am heading up quickly

13C right now, and sun rules the day! 20 expected but I do think it will be more than that today...

17C with some clouds rolling in. Might have an overnight rain shower, which is fine with me. Means I won't have to water the lawn. We shall see.

Mid morning and 17° so we may just surpass that forecast high of 18° today.

Still 20C but clouds are rolling in now and we shall most likely get rain overnight.
