9° and we're in store for another pleasant sunny day with a high of 22°.

Sunny and 10C as we approach noon. A grand day here in St.John's.

Well it's now 15:15 and the temp is 17C so I guess the high of 19 predicted will not happen. The sky has also gone overcast from what it was this morning - I wouldn't be surprised if we get some rain later tonight. We'll see.

An unseasonably warm 303.15 degrees kelvin under a sunny clear blue sky today. Pretty dang humid too so thank goodness it's a bit windy. The temperature tomorrow is supposed to be a more normal 290.15 kelvin (or so).

6° this morning with a high of 22° and the possibility of afternoon thunder storms.

Howl eh Lulu. We got to within a degree of normal yesterday. Still too cool for NASA to pick it as the day they use to interpolate the temps for the year but getting closer.

Overall 'twas a pleasant day here in SW AB with today looking to be an instant replay.

21° as we near the supper hour and the end of very nice spring day, it would seem that the weather will take a turn for the worse tomorrow.

8° and overcast with showers and a high of only 16° today.

An hour past noon and it's 21C (23 high expected) with sheer blue skies. A very light breeze too, with just a hint of coolness making for a pleasant experience sans A/C. Weather reports indicate cloud heading in for tomorrow, but no rain is expected until Tue. We'll see.

Nice here in Fredericton, NB, with sunny skies and 17C temps

Well our nice day yesterday drizzled out. Still we did get our first thunderstorm of the year so maybe some warmer air is getting closer. In the Meantime back to temps well below the norm.

Global Warming my frozen fanny.

Well global warming continues to stay away from Alberta as snow is falling in parts of the province and frost warnings were posted for our area last night. It is currently -1° and THIS IS JUNE! A high of only 13° with wet snow and rain today. Sheesh.

Cloudy and 8C here in Fredericton, and cloudy and 8C in St. John's. Thus, I am not missing much this morning.

Still dropping way below norm at nights. Last night was just a titch above zero. OTH we may reach normal high today which feels wondrously warm compared to the; "Why did I put the Long Johns away" feeling that has haunted spring to this point.

Damn the volcano is BOG!! :eek:

Apparently Mt Ranier is only visible from Seattle 20-30 days a year. Fortunately we landed on two of those days as a lead in to an Inside Passage cruise.

Lovely 70 degree day and super clear. Seattle very nice city and wonderful back drop of mountains and sea...with Ranier looming over it all...when visible.
Keeping our fingers crossed the clear and warm sticks around up the coast.....or at least clear.
Last night the wind was howling at the top of the Space needle and it was chilly but gorgeous air and views.

Furnace went back on today. Not on a little - on a lot.

We've gone from winter to spring to the rainy season to summer to late fall and now hopefully back to something that's not totally nuts...

10C and very foggy here in St.John's at just past 10PM. My hounds are not wanting to go outside for a walk in Churchill Park. So much for the myth of the Hounds of Baskerville manor being dachshunds.

They are in the 60% scale version.

They are in the 60% scale version.

:lmao::lmao::lmao: Good one, mrj. How does you hound react to dense fog?

Just now reached our high at 10°, darn cold for June 4 in Alberta. The cooling of the earth continues.

10C here still, but the fog is so low that it is a fine drizzle and if I look down I can't see my feet ......... or my dogs at the end of a leash. Still, the fog horns outside of St.John's Harbor are wailing a lonely moan, as only fog horns can sound. I do love fog.

You are fortunate to have only fog, unlike the frost we experienced last night on June 4th. Global warming my a$$.

The fog is slowly lifting, but I can't see Signal Hill from my home office window, which I can usually see on clear days. Still, it is quiet and 10C, so no one is complaining.

Currently sunny and 12°, but today's high is a mystery. One forecaster (EC) has it at 16°, another at 14° and a third at 22°. I guess somewhere around 20° is then likely.

A cool 3° this morning and a high of 18° in the sunshine today.

10C with low hanging fog again today. A very still and quiet start of a new week.

Looks like a cool grey day. River flows are nearing peak level so we are really hoping we do not get any real rain for the next week or so.

Been some basement flooding in homes near the river but so far no signs of anything more serious. It's beyond me why building codes continue to insist on basements when homes are built in high water table areas. Would make more sense to insist on an elevated first floor built on some sort of piers.

Still 10C and still very foggy ............. and the fog is getting lower each hour. It is at the treetops now.

11C and still very foggy. Sounds like a broken record .................

6° here this morning and a sunny high of 21° today.

Looks like a cool grey day. River flows are nearing peak level so we are really hoping we do not get any real rain for the next week or so....

Deja vue all over again, this time with a heavy rainfall warning. So far stream flows staying where they are, cooler weather offsetting the rain and vice versa. Will see what happens if rain gets heavier.

10° this morning and up to 20° with afternoon showers.

Stinkin' hot today. Up to 40 with the humidex. Already feeling like the rainforest out there.

Hopefully my Right Guard will live up to it's claims.

11C with lots of low hanging fog again this morning. Very quiet and very still outside.

Hmmm, those afternoon showers have turned into an all day event. It's dark cloud, gloomy and the wind has picked up although we are have dry ground.

Looks like a cool grey day. River flows are nearing peak level so we are really hoping we do not get any real rain for the next week or so.
...

The dreaded three Pete's. Temps way below the norm. Rainfall warning has been dropped and the rain continues to drop.

Earliest sunshine carrot is being dangled as tomorrow afternoon. Experience suggests this may be a lie.

Global Warming my a$$.

EC forecast a sunny morning and rain in the afternoon. As usual, they got it completely backwards. We had rain this morning and now a nice sunny afternoon. Do they pay those guys at EC to botch forecast that badly?

9° today on the way to a pleasant summer day of 23°.

As expected the sunshine carrot has been yanked and is now being dangled for Saturday. Looks like another cool and soggy day here in SW AB.

With all the rain and hitting peak runoff, river levels are generally at least double what we would expect. Example Castle river would normally be running somewhere between 40 and 90 CMS. Last 24 hours has been holding at over 200 CMS.

We were promised that "sunshine carrot" as well. Now, after over 100 hours this month of dense fog, the sky is a bit brighter, but no sun. Still, it's 14C with no wind, so a quiet day is fine with me.

20° in bright sunshine over the noon hour. :)

14C and foggy this morning here in St.John's.

Rain finally has given way to sunshine.

At least five and perhaps six of the seven floodgates are open on the Oldman Dam, which is near Pincher Creek, AB.

20274

19° on the way to 25° as mid day approaches.

10° under partial cloud with a chance of afternoon showers and a high of 19° today.

10 degrees and stunning in Glacier National Park

An amazing pic, MacDoc. Merci. Has the glacier receeded as much as forecasted a few years ago?

11° on the way to 21° with a 60% chance of showers today.

This is an odd structure in Glacier Bay Dr. G - in 400 years the glacier has retreated an enormous amount - basically the entire park but that is a special case due to the huge watershed. it magnifies advances and retreats.
When Muir visited it bay was open - yet was a solid wall of ice in 1780

Muir Glacier has undergone very rapid, well-documented retreat since its Little Ice Age maximum position at the mouth of Glacier Bay around 1780.[3] Between 1941 and 2004 the glacier retreated more than twelve kilometers (seven miles) and thinned by over 800 meters (2625 feet). Ocean water has filled the valley replacing the ice.[4]

Probably because of its funnel-shaped geography, Little Ice Age advances and retreats were magnified compared to other parts of the Glacier Bay region. With the exception of some lowlands at the province's southeastern and southwestern margins, the entire province was under ice or ice-generated outwash about 250 years ago.

Glacier Bay National Park Information Page (http://www.glacier.bay.national-park.com/info.htm)

another lovely day in Seattle 60 degrees and sunny -

Lovely afternoon . . .

7° with light cloud turning to sunny skies and a high of 21° this afternoon.

I see our week of promised sunshine for SW AB has once again gone over to to the darkside. Currently cloudy after an overnight low of just 2°C. Global Warming my A$$.

After the "Winter that would not end" looks like we have another "Summer that never was" coming down the pike.

Very sunny and a nice 14C this afternoon here in St.John's.

17 and for once wickedly clean air in Toronto....damn that's a treat.

We have an Air Quality Health Index reading of 2 today here in St.John's. How might we find out the Air Quality Index for St.John's, MacDoc? Merci, mon ami.

The weather always knows when we're going camping:

Sunny and 9C this morning here in St.John's.

15° here in Battleford this morning and on the way to White City today where it will be cool and wet with a high of only 16°.

Cool and cloudy seems to have settled in for the week (year?) here in SW AB. To date, that much warmer than normal summer predicted by the Chicken Little Crowd is proving to be as elusive in 2011 as it was in 2010. We are now 16 consecutive months with 15 of them being below average temps. October 2010 managed to reach normal but that was an aberration that was quickly offset by an early onset winter that hung in until mid May.

Global Warming my frozen fanny.:ptptptptp

22° here in White City this morning but dark clouds look threatening for the day.

Another cool grey day here in SW AB. Obviously EC had been drinking the Chicken-Little Kool-Aid when they forecast the hottest spring/summer to ever hit our part of the world.

The spring leaves are finally here, no sign of lilacs as yet. We are more than ten days behind last year and last year spring was over a week late in arriving.

From todays Billings Gazette:

WEST GLACIER - Crews plowing Glacier National Park's historic Going-to-the-Sun Road say heavy snowpack this winter has put them almost a month behind schedule.


Stan Stahr tells KECI-TV in Missoula he hasn't seen the snowpack this bad in the 20 years he has worked for the park, and it is making it dangerous for crews that are experiencing avalanches, mud slides and rocks breaking off cliffs.


With another round of cool, wet weather in the forecast, Stahr says park officials can't say for sure when the road will be completely open over Logan Pass. It generally opens between now and the beginning of July.

Very, very foggy this afternoon. Low and thick fog makes walking or driving dangerous.

Foggy and 9C this morning here in St.John's.

18 and greyish this AM heading to 22 and Tstorms this aft

Still foggy and 10C as we slowly inch towards noon ............... when there won't be much of a change from now. A quiet and predictable day so far.

Pouring rain under a heavy rainfall warning here in White City, SK. with a high of only 16° today.

Cool and grey for sure today. I am hoping for a good rain with a driving west wind to test a modified door's water proof status. As Dr. G says; "We shall see."

11° here in Grenfell, SK with a high of 22° and very high winds.

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

14° here in Grenfell, SK this morning on the way to 23° with afternoon T-storms.

Still cool and grey here in Southern AB. We are now far enough along to declare "The Hottest Summer Ever" to be a complete bust, a figment of ECs Hadley influenced imagination. If possible Taber corn is lagging behind last years glacial pace. Should things continue it might turn out to be the coldest summer on record.

We are on track for the coolest June on record ....... which beats out last June ......... which beat out the previous June ........ which was the coolest since 1888. Still, the past two Julys have been the hottest on record, so we shall see if this trend continues.

11 pm in Radisson and the sky to north is still light

Two very tired riders.

Sort of got the message how far north we are when the caribou ran along beside the road as I was riding.

And the end of the one road to James Bay from Radisson leads to the border of Nunavit!!

14 but heading way down perhaps below freezing - nice day tomorrow tho for the long trek home

What bike and model are you riding??

From your avatar I thought that you were just a super 'scooter' user. ;)

Have a good safe trip back home!!!

15° in Grenfell SK. this morning as we pack up and head for Moose Jaw for a few days. The week looks good there with sunny skies and temps in the mid 20's all week long, unlike th pouring rain here.

16° in Moose Jaw with rain all day and a high of 22°.

a lovely 23 degree evening sitting at the Shed after a long hike down from James Bay, Quite the biome change in 48 hours tho days were all warm the whole trip. 3500 km 4 days - not for the faint of heart.

11° here in Moose Jaw with thick fog and an expected sunny high of 26° today.

Moments before 7PM and it is 23, it has been hot all day, but the mosquitos are still out in droves... UGH!!

A lovely 24° in Moose Jaw this evening. A perfect end to a perfect day.

13° and sunny here in MJ this morning on the way to a high of 26°.

17° here in Moose Jaw this morning after an all-night rain. A sunny high of 25° today.

15° here in Moose Jaw this morning on the way to 21° under cloud cover.

A cool and windy 11° in Moose Jaw with a sunny high of 21° today and afternoon thunder storms. Pretty much a repeat of yesterday.

Black clouds in the west, a cool almost cold wind.... and I wouldn't be surprised to see lightening and hear thunder later at all... a jacket for today will be a must! Brrrr...

Supposed to go to 18 but I have my doubts

Overcast, slight breeze (26km/h) and 17 here this evening. Not too bad at all.

That is our norm here, MacDoc. Of course, along with the clean air comes the fog and ocean breezes most mornings, but I am not complaining. Paix, mon ami.

13° in MJ this morning with a high of 23° in the sunshine.

St.John's has had 25 straight days this month with some fog that has disrupted flights at the airport, 24 days when we had some rain in the first 27 days so far this month, and only 7 full hours of real sunshine. We might break the record for the most days in June when the temps never got above 19C. We still have four more days left in the month, but it does not look good for warmer temps.

Still, even with all of our rain, we have not had the flooding that folks in SK, MB and Quebec have experienced. For that, we should be grateful.

Its not exactly wonderful over here on the west coast of the rock either, more RDF today. I get it I should pack the shorts for Florida when I come into town to catch our flight?

The seasons seem to be about a month delayed this year, but at least no flooding or tornadoes, so still lots to be thankful for.

Well, we got to 19C with no sun, but no RDF either. So, we hope for some sun on Wed. before the return of the rain. We shall see.

11° here in Moose Jaw as we pack up to continue on to Swift Current where I will attend my 50th high school reunion this weekend. It will be 28° and sunny there today.

muggy and warm, thunder on the way.... 18 right now and the sun is out... playing with the mosquitoes! ugh!!

16C with no sun, no rain, no drizzle, no fog and no mosquitoes. So, it's not a bad day.

18° here in Swift Current this morning on the way to a hot 29° in the sunshine today. A similar day yesterday generated a huge windstorm and lightening display last night.

23 right now, and muggy again... thunder forecast for later today...

OTR South of 49. Hot pretty well covers it, should hit the 90s later on today.

Sunny blue skies and mild temps ............. finally.

Sunny, a light breeze and 26° over the noon hour.

Just landed at the Halifax Airport on our way to Sydney and all I can say is BRRRRRR!

Toronto was beginning to steam up and I feel I just walked into autumn.... late autumn.

13º in Sydney. Lucky it's so beautiful there.... (well not in Sydney...) ;)

14C here in St. John's as the fog finally starts to lift.

Overcast and cool this morning in lovely Cape Breton. The forecast calls for sun and I believe it. I've seen the weather here turn on a dime.

Yesterday ended up being glorious! High hopes for today.

Morning, mrj. Is your hound with you? Why not jump on the ferry at North Syndey, spend 7 hours crossing over into NL, and then driving 11 hours to St.John's? Or not. Your call. Paix, mon ami.

17C and sunny with a gentle ocean breeze. Great day for whale watching.

Sunny, and just a touch under 20C. If it hits 20C today, it will be the first day at or over 20C since May 27th ............ at least here in St.John's. We shall see.

20C on the nose. It's official ............... let the summer of 2011 begin!!!!!!!

23 soft south wind - gorgeous out. Love the sweep of mustard fields.

Great day for riding. Hanging out at the soaring field for a break and battery recharge.

21C and a nice ocean breeze ............ with lots of sunshine.

A fine sunny morning here in St.John's. 15C at 8AM. Going to be a warm day, but with a nice ocean breeze.

21 and a stunning morning after last nights massive light show.

sweet air too especially up in the Caledon HIlls....no traffic noise either :clap:

Maybe when you get back home, check all the spam on Magic! :D

60% chance of thunderstorms today with an expected high of 25 or so. 20 and bright right now with a few clouds and kind of an it's-gonna-rain haze, and boy is it humid. Yech.

Now 15° here in Swift Current, Sask. with a high of 29° producing some evening T-showers today.

Very sunny and 21C with a nice ocean breeze at just about 1PM. A great afternoon so far here in St.John's. By sunset, we shall have had more real sunshine yesterday and today than in the entire month of June. No wonder people are walking around, looking up and the sky and smiling. :)

wooooo hoooot and muggy - back at the Shed after an enjoyable loop up to Georgian Bay...30 but feels hotter -
Great burger at Eugenie Falls...

Sunny at the moment and way hotter than the 25 they originally predicted - we're at a very muggy 30 right now with a strong breeze. Severe thunderstorm watch in effect until this evening. Several areas further north and towards the east are under warnings.

Still 20C as we approach 6PM. BBQ time tonight .............. at long last.

Morning, mrj. Is your hound with you? Why not jump on the ferry at North Syndey, spend 7 hours crossing over into NL, and then driving 11 hours to St.John's? Or not. Your call. Paix, mon ami.

Thanks for the offer Dr.G. When I saw the sign for the ferry this afternoon as we drove to the airport I was awfully tempted.

Three of the most gorgeous days we've ever experienced in Cape Breton! Glorious sunshine, warm not hot and blue skies to match the icy waters of the Bras d'Or lakes. Just fantastic.

Tonight in TO, the sunset as we drove home from the airport was actually quite lovely. A nice gentle entrance back into the rat race.

12° in Swift Current as we pack up and make the five hour run to Battleford, SK. where it will be 23° in the sunshine today.

28 and AQ is not all that bad http://www.airqualityontario.com/meters/21.jpg

We hit 25C with no humidity and a gentle ocean breeze this afternoon. A great 4th of July here in St.John's.

Should be another stinker today @ 30 degrees.

What's wrong with this forecast graphic? :)

EC has forecast a possible high of 29C with the humidex this afternoon, which is hot for us. Each year, we pass 30C with the humidex from 2-5 times, so we shall be close today. Luckily, an ocean breeze will help moderate the humidity. We shall see.

wooooo hoooot and muggy - back at the Shed after an enjoyable loop up to Georgian Bay...30 but feels hotter -

Didn't even drop by to say Hi, nice guy! heh...I hope you had a good trip. Eugenia falls is nice, as all the road tripping back in the Beaver Valley is very nice. Been swimming a couple of times in the bay so far.

Going to be hot today 27 plus humidex, but at least Georgian Bay will make it feel less hot than other areas.

Was certainly a drive by as I did not even get to the shore but looped off 13 to Beaver Valley road - nice area you got there. I don't go up as often as I should.
Do you ride??

17 and another lovely day in the cards - breathable too.

10 here in Battleford SK., this morning as we make the final five hour run home today where it will be 26° and sunny.

Dear Sky,

It is unnecessary to cloud over.

Best,

mrjimmy

Well, it got very dark about an hour ago, I heard a rumble of thunder, and then temps started to drop from 22C to 19C. Then, the rains came, but now have stopped. Guess that was our thunderstorm for this year. We get, on average, one thunderstorm a year, and one that spoofs my dogs with multiple thunder claps about once every five years.

Started off overcast here in Zacatecas this morning (rainy season). We get about 2 weeks of this out of the year, with the rest of the days being 100% cloud-free. This bluenoser will never get used to living in a mountain desert, I tell ya...

But the sun came out, and I have laundry hanging. That's my new self-identifying characteristic: launderer of baby clothes. So much for my productivity...

And Dr. G: I see you'll have a new sight along the Newfoundland coast soon... coming down from Greenland, by way of Labrador:

http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/images/stories/iceberg-labrador-sea-110705-02.jpg (http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/satellite-spots-massive-ice-island-glacier-1705/)

A massive ice island that broke off a glacier in Greenland 11 months ago has been winding its way through Arctic waters ever since. Satellites have now spotted it the coast of Labrador, Canada, as seen in a new image.

The ice island was formed when a 97-square-mile (251-square-kilometer) chunk of ice broke off Greenland's Petermann Glacier on Aug. 5, 2010. It was the largest iceberg to form in the Arctic in 50 years.

(OurAmazingPlanet (http://www.ouramazingplanet.com/satellite-spots-massive-ice-island-glacier-1705/))

Yes, the Can. Coast Guard is watching this closely, in that if it starts to split, huge icebergs will be coming our way. As it is, it is like the Island of Bermuda coming our way. It is estimated that if it could be melted down today, it would supply enough fresh water for every person on earth to have two liters of clear, clean water .............. for the next two years.

16° in pouring rain, a wet day in store for us at a humid high of 28°.

22 - grayish with Tstorms looming.
High 20s all week.

Dear Thunder,

While I understand you are an integral part of nature's 'master plan', you shouldn't feel the need to keep reminding us. Especially on a day that someone has a golf game booked.

Sincerely,

mrjimmy

Bright hot sun already....:cool: might even hit 30.... XX) my temp says 18 already and that is perfect for me! :clap:

I hope the thunder gods heard your plea for a good 'golf day' mr jimmy.... :lmao:

Let's see, wind enough to keep mosquitos at bay, but not strong enough to force that 'sllice' even further off course, enough sun to see but not to burn, and greens that catch your chip and funnel to the hole...for a birdie or better!! ;)

A perfect day...

17° this morning on the way to 27° in the sunshine today, but then we enter a period of four more days of rain, just what we don't need.

24C with a 27C humidex reading makes this a very warm day here in St.John's. Not much of an ocean breeze yet, but hopefully one will come later today. We shall see.

Sunny skies and 16C this morning. A beautiful refreshing ocean breeze will most likely keep the humidex reading under 30C, which is fine with me.

It is just pouring here. So hard that the eaves troughs cannot handle the volume and they are overflowing in spite of the water surging out of the bottom drains onto the lawn which is puddled with water. Only 14° with high winds and a high of 18° today, but this is to continue for days. There is no where for any more water to go, so local rivers will be overflowing their banks too.

Sunshine and 21C this afternoon here in St.John's. No humidex reading as the ocean breeze has come to make this a glorious day.

A beautiful sunset marks the conclusion of a beautiful day. These are the days I dream about as I am shoveling snow out of my driveway. Currenly, it is 14C with clear skies and no wind.

Still raining here as it has been most of the day with little relief in the next four days. Sigh.

Another day and more rain. some areas to the northwest of us received 100 mm yesterday including the town of Slave lake, now facing flooding on top of the fire devastation.

15C with a light rain falling, which we actually needed after the past few sunny and warm days.

Pouring rain here again, even stopping the Esks-TiCats ball game due to lightening. Damn it's wet here and the mosquitos are unbearable.

Global Warming Sinc, all the melting ice caps pouring down on you guys out there:D

The weather is absolutely amazing....We, or more me than we, have been swimming in Georgian Bay almost everyday since Canada Day friday. To quote a certian CEO we all know and love, " I LOVE THIS COUNTRY", err company...I won't go into the monkey dance routine though:eek:

Another wet one here with some areas to the north of us getting 110 mm in the past 48 hours. 13° and a cool high of 17° today with rain.

15C with some cloudy sunshine this morning.

26 degrees at 9:30 am on a way to 31 + humidity today. Another day in the water I guess, Darn it all..

17C and sunny, but with winds gusting over 100km/h, it is a good inside day to relax.

Bleh - 29 - smog, humid wind out of the US full of junk.....

17° and huge dark purple mass building in the SW means we're in for another big rain, just what we don't need.

16C with a bit of sunshine but very, very windy, with gusts over 100km/h hitting branches full of leaves.

The winds have died down to gusts of between 45-60km/h. So, the wind warning has been ended. A very nice evening with 15C temps and a nice half moon in the southern sky.

28 at 10 pm and ucky

Dropped to 25 then back up to 26 at 1.30 am....hot times in the city..AQ marginal for a Sunday night.

Hmm late night mcycle ride beckons....or early coffee at the Shed....

.

A beautiful morning here in St.John's. !4C temps with lots of blue skies and sunshine. Winds have died down to about 35km/h, but it is off of the ocean to the air is fresh.

Beautiful sunshine and 22C temps with a nice ocean breeze. The perfect summer day here in St.John's.

15° this morning, nearly at our high for the day of 17°. And oh yeah, more rain for the umpteenth day.

Sunshine and 23C with a UV Index reading of 7 which is very high for us.

31 - horrid air and when this sucker breaks gonna be nasty.

From Larry at OWC

Sorry – really bad storm pounded entire area... Had to get the chainsaw out and cut up a tree so could get on my way. Nasty stuff. Luckily no trees impacts house or car, missed that stuff, but branches down all over + a big tree right across the drive of course... And trees down across a lot of roads too. We just don’t see storm activity like this too often – talking 70+ MPH winds for over 20 minutes. Corn fields really got pounded, this hurt bad some of the fields that didn’t have breaks on the west to protect this eastern hit.

MacDoc, hop on a plane and come to St.John's. Sunny skies ........ 24C temps with no humidex reading, nice breezes off of the ocean which brings clean air over us.

Good lord, will this rain never end?

Good lord, will this rain never end?

Sounds like St. John's, Sinc. In the month of June, we had rain for at least three hours for 27 of the 30 days, with a grand total of 10 hours of sunshine, and the warmest temp was only 19C. Still, I feel your pain.

14° with a high today of 19° and guess what? More rain for the next four days.

Sunny, breezy and 21C this morning.

15° this morning on the way to 22° and wait for it . . . more rain.

19C with a very fine drizzle falling. I was out on my back deck without a shirt and it felt rather nice -- sort of like being out in a warm mist.

Stunning day - 25 , dry air fluffy white clouds. Glad to be rid of the junk out of the US

16° this morning with a high of 21°. Did I mention it continues to rain?

15° this morning on the way to 23° with, yes, more rain.

A very foggy 16C here this morning.

20C with off and on rain this evening.

20° with a light breeze, but not enough to fend off approximately a million mosquitoes, and that is just in one square foot of our lawn.

17C with the overnight rain giving way to clearing skies.

12° and yes, it is raining with a sunny afternoon and a high of 24°.

The winds changed direction, the sun came out and now we are at a pleasant 23C.

31 and uck

more Ohio crap in the air :mad:

19C and a beautiful sunset right now. Clean air, MacDoc .............. so, come on down.

A beautiful clear and sunny afternoon with a light breeze at 22°, perfect for the CFL game in Edmonton who are hosting B.C. With all the rain, you can almost hear the grass growing in the afternoon heat.

PArtial cloud and 14° on the way to a warm 28° with afternoon showers.

Partial clouds here as well, with 18C temps and sunshine this afternoon with temps in the low 20s. A quiet Sunday here in St.John's.

Sunny and 20C with a nice ocean breeze bringing fresh and clean air. Come on down, MacDoc.

33 now - planning our visit for next year Dr. G

33 now - planning our visit for next year Dr. G

Well, we shall be here .............. along with the nice fresh air. Can't guarantee any hot and humid days, however. We went over 30C on the humidex only twice in early July, and that should be it for us.

Still, sunshine and 20C now at 4PM makes this a fine afternoon.

24° now, with the humidy feels like 27° over the noon hour.

Stinkin' hot.

31 in MTL at the moment; it'll probably top out at 32. High heat & humidity warning in effect.

Where I live up north it's a hazy & humid 29 (humidex = 36) with no warnings at the moment. Pretty breezy, which takes the edge off a bit.

Chance of showers or thunderstorms this evening - just watch, as usual it'll turn into a severe thunderstorm watch / warning. :ptptptptp

Here on the westcoast, at noon, it's about 18°c, partially overcast, not raining at the moment.

(I live in a temperate rainforest. Temperate = never too hot, never too cold. Rainforest = rain, but then we also get the 'forest' part, which is okay too.)

Got to 35 - now down to 34 - even up at the Shed it's hot bt at the air is better and there is a breeze and an umbrella

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m269/macdoc/ScreenShot2011-07-17atJul17201145130PM.jpg

We are half that here, MacDoc. Down to 17C with a light ocean breeze. A beautiful even .............. and no bugs.

Is that you???? If so, Macfury owes you a Kudos. He dared you to post a picture of yourself way back when in the thread about what we looked like these days.

Yep, that's the man hisself, I recognize it from another shot he posted from SA a couple years back.

Meanwhile at 7:00 p.m.

Caught without my Storm Trooper helment on, :eek:

http://chugginmonkeys.com/img/upload/cache/382x382_stormtrooper_motorcycle_helmet_4cf8f3aa2c2 58.jpg

New ride got the inevitable nickname - demands in some quarters for matching helmet.

29 at 10 and thoughts of storming about the backroads in mind ;)

Little change, still a very warm evening:

25 minute hurricane last evening - yowza, that was something. Same line of storms that destroyed the Bluesfest stage in Ottawa. No damage around here though, thank goodness.

28 or 29 today, cloudy with sunny breaks, chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.

18C this morning, with a nice ocean breeze .............. just the weather MacDoc would like to free himself from the heat and humidity and poor air quality of TO.

Man, that was hot yesterday. Spent most of the day in the Bay.

It was 30 most of the day but went up to 33 in the evening. A/C was a must last night. It rained over night, and now we will see how humid it will be today!.

25 and threatening rain but not a lot of heat relief in sight. a/c for sure.

17° and headed up to 27° today. It was dead calm and an eerie yellow at dawn and all hell broke loose. High winds, lightening, rain and hail for all of 10 minutes and now dead calm again under dark purple skies.

Partly sunny with 22C temps and a nice ocean breeze as we approach noon.

A half hour ago when I took the truck for an oil change the sky was deep purple as far as one could see. Now the sun has suddenly appeared and half the sky is blue. Quick change or what?

17C with a beautiful sunset forming here in St.John's.

The rain continues to be relentless. 16° this morning on the way to 24°.

27 predicted today, no rain. Lovely clear morning, humidity has dropped to a more comfortable level.

31 and sunny tomorrow and (at the moment) they're saying 34 on Thursday w/ chance of showers. Gads.

We don't get temps that hot here, Doug, but I am sure that my doxies would love doing that if the humidex was up in the mid to high 30C range. Paix, mon ami.

High of 37 with a humidex of 48 in Winnipeg today.

Winnipeg gets extra gross winters and summers. Why do people like living there?

Stay safe, mon ami.

It's turned into a lovely summer afternoon at 22° in the sunshine.

much better here - summery 28 and lower humidity. Enough cloud cover to break up the sun heat.

17C and the fog is slowly lifting. A quiet day here in St.John's this morning.

CBC Radio One news reported that there is an island of ice headed our way. It started off in Greenland, made first landfall off the coast of Labrador .......... and was twice the size of Vancouver then. Now, it is the size of the Island of Manhattan and is headed down the coast of the Island of Newfoundland .......... and headed for St.John's. I guess if I can't go back to where I was born, Manhattan, a replica shall come to visit me sometime this summer. We shall see.

Lovely 21 at 7 am - clear - rain was cancelled - - not good .....we needed it. Lawns very brown.

14° this morning on a dull, wet day. Yes another day of rain. A high of only 19° today.

The morning fog is finally burning away, leaving sunshine and 20C temps.

NL waterbombers have been loaned to ON since our risk is low and they are fighting blazes all over the province. :(

Our rain has moved to the east and a bit of sun has appeared and currently 13°, a degree cooler than at 6:00 a.m.

A bit more sunshine and 22C temps. A very nice afternoon.

37.5 on the way up to the Shed - 3 degrees cooler here and some breeze but damn that's hot.

21C and sunny. A beautiful evening for a BBQ and eating outside.

20° here in the evening sun. No one is eating outside as the mosquitoes clean your plate before you can.

18C and a nice night outside. Just came in from looking for constellations.

XX) http://www.airqualityontario.com/meters/38.jpg and still 30 degree :yikes:

17C, a bit of sun, no humidity and fresh air. Go east, young man, go east. Paix, mon ami.

10° on the way to a pleasant 21° in bright sunshine, a perfect day for Edmonton's Capital Ex parade which goes this morning in the city.

Currently 28C

High of 38C, feels like 49C as it is 53% humidity.

Stay safe, mon amie.

They say it's likely the record for hottest day ever recorded will be broken today in the TDot. It's like sitting in a steaming bath out there.

The hound stays in the air con as much as possible today.

HOT HOT HOT...we left the A/C on in our bedroom for the cat today as she is so hot during the day. We don't have a basement so our place gets good and hot. We can go cool off in the lake, where the cat can't, or won't!.

Amazing. Yes, this is not the sort of weather that any dog should be outside. Bonne chance, mon ami.

Ottawa's experiencing the heat as well. Right now it's 32 C feels like 46 C @ 67% humidity.

A warm 19C with a refreshing light rain. Warm enough to stand outside in the rain and watch the dogs wander about the backyard.

Yesterday was quite unlike any day I remember here in Toronto. The heat enveloped you like a straightjacket. At times it was difficult to take a deep breath. It stung to be out in the sun.

Today doesn't look to be much different. I hope our A/C is up to the challenge. I would fear for the pets without it.

A cool 10° here this morning with steady rain all day and a high of only 16°. Much better than TO.

Finally a break - 24 degrees and northwest wind and the Ohio smog gone.... http://www.airqualityontario.com/meters/17.jpg :clap:

I am in the "heat" as are many in the East. Forecast for today is 32C and the humidity is above 80. No breeze of note.
The worst is the buildup that occurs after this many days in the non air-conditioned spaces. Staying inside in the air conditioning except to go out and water a few plants to keep them alive.

Good time to explore Lion and read ebooks about photography and learn more about image adjustment and manipulations possible with software programs. Very grateful that I do not have to go to work and am able to afford a window air conditioner and the resulting scary hydro bill.

I received a phone call from a young person in my area checking to ask if I was okay and had an air conditioner. A good thing to do if you have any older people in your neighbourhood that are on their own.

The front yard faces west and is shady in the morning so I took advantage and cut the grass, pulled some weeds and did the watering, all before 9. It must be a bit cooler today as it would have been almost impossible to do it yesterday.

Still, I was sweating like a U-Boat commander.

Very wise idea, mrj. When I lived in Waycross, Georgia, a neighbor had a bassett hound who would hide under my front porch since it faced north, especially on days when the humidex hit 110F.

Finally got sunny today, and now we have blue skies and 19C temps. A nice afternoon.

Just 12° with the sky so dark it feels like 5:00 a.m., not nearly noon. Our 45 gallon rain barrel filled between noon yesterday and 8:00 a.m. with runoff from the roof. Even the satellite TV reception has been spotty and it takes a hard rain to do that for sure.

Sunny and 20C at 4PM. Still a nice afternoon.

31 and muggy again - wind shifted back around. Not even close to yesterday tho.

Something about this kind of heat in Georgia seems acceptable. Romantic even. Big magnolia trees creating pools of shade surrounding little town squares full of Colonial style buildings....

Not traffic infested TO with it's mountains of litter, brown lawns and snarling hot weather adverse citizens.
