Local warming

This might seem like a stupid question, but what kind of shoes do you wear Rani? When it gets hot my feet start to sweat alot and that makes the rest of my body sweat too. The only thing that works is wearing flip flops, but you can't really wear those to work :\

I usually wear sandals with velcro straps, this model in particular: http://sourceoutdoor.com/mens-sport-...3-classic.html

In this kind of temperature you still sweat heavily when not in an air conditioned room, but not as much as you would near the coast because the air here is very dry.

At least Friday doesn't look dry:

A new record for Finland was measured today, 34.8 C. They say there have been 40 days this summer in Finland when the temperature has been at least 25C, which I think is also a new record.

Even squirrels are exhausted for the heat wave:

The local warming also brought heavy storms:

Luckily we have not had big forest fires like Russia.

It's official: today it's the warmest day of the year. 38 C degrees in the shadow but nearly 50 C at asphalt level. The thermic comfort index is also high ( over 80 ) which means unbearable level of humidity. To be honest when I arrived at work I felt like a squeezed mop. I walk down the street and sweat is running down my body. What an embarasment....

Going at the seaside is not a solution The sand ihas about 70 degrees , sea water is 30 degrees and sometimes dead fish and algaes in putrefaction float near the shore.

They say that it will be like this until 23 august.

Environment Canada has recently announced that this will likely be the hottest summer in Canadian history. Indeed, eastern Canada continues to bake in record 30 deg. C+ temps.
Alberta, however, has seen a miserable summer. I don't think we've had a single day of +30 deg. temps. The thermometer dropped to 2 deg. C last night and I had to scrape the ice off the windshield this morning :mark:

High 32 today. Low tonight 20.
By Sat high 16 and low 9
And I am planning on going to Mosport!
