Canada's summer weather
 

Thought I would start this thread to let the UK people up-to-date with our weather.

The past week has been pretty hot here in NS. Yesterday was in the high 20Cs/low 30Cs. It is now 7.45am and is 17C at the moment with a high of 30C expected today. Humidity hasn't been bad over the last few days either which is great.

Don't know about anyone else but I find that our hottest time tends to be around 3-6pm instead of the usual 12-2 back over the pond.

Not totally bragging about the weather though as I am fairly puggled by evening time :blink: :D

just to make you feel better, OH was complaining about the fog and humidity when he got back to Halifax last week, so it does depend where you are in NS:lol:

It crossed my mind yesterday that I've never seen a thread about how hot Canada is just how cold. I have to say I think I must be a winter girl as these 30degree temps are killing me. Mowed and edged the lawns yesterday and just about passed out!

You are not alone there Lisa. I also find it hard going. I prefer temps around low 20Cs ie Sept in NS.

I recycle my dehumidifier water collection and water my plants with it :thumbsup:

We had a temperature of 36.5Ëš on Canada Day here in Pemberton, BC. Was way too hot for me and the puppy was a little bit warm too! Thankfully it's going to be 10Ëš less today - way more comfortable.

On average the weather in canada is quite nice

You just have to add the winter numbers to the summer numbers and divide by two...... ;)

All I can say had a really nice hot couple of days but presently a lovely breeze blowing through the house with all the windows open, which also means no biting insects :D

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

We've decamped to sleep in the cool basement for the past week or so - and now it just seems easier to stay there for the whole month ! Last July was just too hot for me for about three of the weeks - it's a bit more mixed up at the moment this year - hot and humid for a day or two, then a quick thunder shower then sunny again.

I'm not complaining though.

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

must add that its been really hot here, foggy some mornings last week,but cleared by mid morning,
but i would be enjoying the fantastic hot weather better if i didnt have to work:rofl::rofl:

Great weekend here in Nanaimo mid to high 20's all the way and it was dragon boat racing weekend , the after party was awesome :)

Very nice pictures but...they are huge.:ohmy:;)

At the risk of sounding like the miserable old fart that I am, could you possibly resize your images to no larger than 800 pixels wide or 600 pixels high before uploading them.

I have a high speed connection and at 1.5 megabytes each each, your pictures took a full minute to download before I was able to see them.:(

I have taken the liberty of resizing these three (now between 77 and 205 kilobytes each), I hope you don't mind.

This makes your pictures download faster and thus much more viewable to "everyone" and also saves on server space for the site owners.:)

Steve, you miserable old fart :wub: how bout you be my 'cyber re-sizer?' ........ I am a technophobic old fart myself :o & have no idea how to re-size my photos, plus, I can see them in about 10secs so assumed everyone else could too ....... duh!!

Don't forget I live on Vancouver Island also, so anything that happens in 1 minute is almost warp speed!! :rofl:

Here are a couple from this week ....... (off to google to look up resizing photos, honest ;))

2 are Whistler & the other is the view from the Malahat with Mt Baker in the background.

The things I do for a quiet life.:p ;):rofl::rofl::rofl:

I found this little freebie on the net I haven't tried it but it looks pretty good and has some nice reviews.

Currently enjoying 2 weeks of beautiful sunshine here in Newfoundland. It even reached 30 one day last week - averaging about 25.

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

i have been in the middle of sask for over a month now and only once did i have to wear a pair of jeans and a jacket!!!some days its been too hot for shorts and t shirt
i have had about 4 days of rain some real heavy with some fantastic thunder/lightening storms but otherwise it has been generally around the 64c(this was 5.30am on the hot days) and has reached on about the mid 90's(usually 2pm).now that was hot.
the weather is absolutely fantastic but i have been warned by just about everyone to prepare myself for the -50c dec/jan.

Why thank you sir :wub: ............... karma sent :thumbsup:

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

It's hot hot hot in Kelowna and i don't like it one bit, everytime i drive down the road i nearly end up in an accident, i mean what girl in her right mind would wear such short skimpy clothes when it's a mild 38 degrees. :thumbup:

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

Yep - hubby was really struggling at work last week while the Stampede was on - I mean, bikini-clad gorgeous fit girls everywhere, skimpy skirts and cowboy boots - he could barely think straight, let alone work properly. :lol:

Not that he noticed it much of course - or that's what he told me, anyway ;) but his colleague bubbled him :rofl:

Re: Canada's summer weather
 

I love the Kamloops summer :thumbsup:
