It has been over 25 C daytime temperatures for weeks here. Now it's gone over 32 C. They say it hasn't been this hot since the 1930s.

You guys got nothin' on me, 37 C and it was relatively nice today...
I hope it stays like that for the whole rally, and no I don't need the AC :p :Quote:

you could have fried an egg on streets on that temperature. :oQuote:

I go barefooted.Quote:

At least Friday doesn't look dry:Quote:

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!
We are planning on doing some camping this w/end just outside of Red Deer:

Dry and 37C is so much better than humid and 25C.Quote:

Even in this part of the world, Sept. 17 is quite early in the year to have s***. And, I'll be darned if I swap to s*** tires thie early in the season :mark: .
Global warming my @rse.
Hope the climactic conditions in your neck of the world are more favourable.
The entire year in Minn. has been either abnormally warm, or abnormally cold.Quote:

We had the warmest summer on record in Ontario but the last few weeks have been below normal and the last couple of days about 10C below normal.
No frost or that dreaded white stuff yet though.
Same here in Southern Finland. First very cold winter and then very hot summer. I guess the yearly average have to be restored.Quote:

Our forecast has been for an unusually mild fall but so far it has been the opposite.
Long range forecast is for a wicked winter.
Considering they have a hard time getting it right for 24 hours I do not have a lot of faith in any of it.
Open window forecasting is the best. Stick your hand out and see what it is doing.
They say this December has been the coldest since 1978 in many parts of Finland. So the local warming has been canceled.
Wasn't it 1987 ?Quote:

However we were at 3c today, supposed to be 7 tomorrow and 10 on Sat. That would be a record. Ski resorts have enough snow but trails may have to close.
By Sun the high will be-4 and snow. Same for rest of the week.
