I don't think that this will ever turn into a monster thread like Dr. G's "Shangri-la Clubhouse"...but I think that it could be an interesting way for all of us to compare notes on what is happening weather-wise in our particular neck of the woods, on any given day.

And, since Canada is such a lage (HUGE) and diverse place, then some of these weather reports could end up being shockingly different. On the very same day.

Feel free to post photos. :cool:

Today, here on Salt Spring Island, it was unseasonably cool and there were dark clouds that threatened rain. They delivered on this threat toward suppertime, but it didn't amout to much.

I heard reports of snow at the higher levels. Scary.

So...what's it like where YOU live? Right NOW?

19C with sunshine and no threat of rain today. We actually could use a bit, but it may come tonight. We shall see.

A sunny warm 24C with no humidex readings and a nice breeze to make this a great afternoon.

25C with a 27C humidex reading, but a nice westerly breeze helps even when one is out in the full sun.

Stuck at 25C but with a rising humidex reading, now at 28C, but at least the winds are still brisk out of the west.

20C with the air getting very still and dark clouds overhead. Anywhere else I would say we were about to get a thunder storm, but we had our one thunder and lightening storm (3 claps of thunder and a few flashes of lightening) for the year back in July. Still, we could use some rain.

Well, the skies opened up and it poured rain for about 10 minutes. It is slowing down now, and the sun seems to be coming out once again.

Wow, but this sort of warning happens about once a decade here in St.John's.

St. John's and vicinity

St. John's and vicinity continued

This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with heavy rain and possibly damaging winds.

The thunder rumbled a bit, but there was no severe thunder storms here. We got a bit more rain, but now the air is clean, with 18C temps and clear skies. A beautiful half moon is in the southwestern sky.
