Rather pleasant here lately. Summers on the Islets of Langerhans can be hot, but it's been relatively mild so far.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Good. I hope the polar vortex stays with us all summer and through the rest of the year. Anything to cool things down even a little bit is welcome. It's been hot and humid as hell here. The cooler the better. We are already almost halfway through July. Not much longer to go before the days start getting shorter and cooler. I won't miss summer when its over.Originally Posted by N2NH

Today, in my location,we hit a new record high temperature ever!! ......... we hit a bloody high 36 degrees Celsius!!!(that's 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit for those not used to that form of measurement) other parts of the province of British Columbia hit record highs of 40 degrees!! ....... in those places they have never seen it that warm!
Environment Canada says we've passed the peak high temperatures for this current warm spell but we will continue to be 5 to 10 degrees above average for the rest of this week....... damn..... it's almost like what those climatologists were suggesting: It's almost like we are slowly going tropical or at least Mediterranean.....
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt! :roll:
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
That's beginning to sound like a heck of an El Nino event. I like warm weather. Watch the women dress in skimpy clothes while they get crazier by the day. Great entertainment considering they're usually the ones driving us crazy. That was the one great thing about Florida. The women were insane there. Nothing like a decent heat wave to stir the pot. And with the weather getting warmer every year... ;)Today, in my location,we hit a new record high temperature ever!! ......... we hit a bloody high 36 degrees Celsius!!!(that's 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit for those not used to that form of measurement) other parts of the province of British Columbia hit record highs of 40 degrees!! ....... in those places they have never seen it that warm!

Well, in the midst of all this heat it will be refreshing to know that Barrow Alaska is a comfortable 32 deg Fahrenheit today and will reach a high of 35 deg F. Of course this is normal of Barrow AK at this time of the year. Canadian Yukon territory is a bit milder at 55 deg F in Whitehorse. Good to know there is some cool air on the planet. Wish I was up there for the summer instead of down here in this infernal hot & humid hell hole.

That's about the ONLY thing I can think of that summer is good for,

That's what the locals tell me. We went to town and the cabbies, who drive everywhere within about 100 miles, told us we had 3 likely tornadoes yesterday into early this morning (unconfirmed but from what the road crews are saying). Some are still without power, trees are down and crews are scurrying from one area to another making repairs. A tree fell down while we were out and crews were re-opening the road when we returned. One small tornado went north of here, maybe a mile away, two to the south. Thankfully there are no reports of anyone being killed or injured. There are a number of houses and cars damaged though.
Hope they get NOAA to look at it so they can get help for those affected.

Back just 22 C which is normal here close to the sea, going back up to 32 C in the weekend....
Cooling down the inside of the house now open windows, doors etc...

Trace of rain here over the past half-hour. Very uncommon here in July.

Typical summer. Wouldn't be surprised. Could have been a mesocyclone or maybe a weak twister or even straight line winds. Just another one of the joys of summer. Black clouds showed up here around 7;))pm but not much came out of them.
It was so humid here today I was drenched from head to toe by the time I got home. It was like walking through a ultra humid steambath. doG Damned this weather I can't wait for it to end. Summer can go....
