The 'troubles' moved to the back end on Saturday.

Today I risked a fart.

I must be over it....

Re: How's the heat?
 

Today is the warmest so far, currently 30C officially, my thermometer in the shade says 32C, so warmer then the weekend, apparently feels like 35 when humidity is accounted for.

It cooled down nicely last night with the rain, at 1am it was down to 68F but today appears to just be sunny with no rain in sight.(they do have some in the forecast, but we shall see if it arrives.)

I was at home depot buying some egg crate, and they had a/c units flying off the shelf, the 3 people in front of me all had a/c units in their carts.

I know, I'm off to get a few bevies and then go swimming out near Point Atkinson to cool down.

If I could get the time off, I'd be on a plane flying 1,300 miles or so south and spend a week or 2 in San Diego to escape this heat.

They are forecast to be between 22-24 for the next week and some change.


(they are a /couple/few degrees below average for this time of year.)

Some pikeys were swimming in False Creek earlier this afternoon. I stood and watched while my dog peed on the e-coli warning signs :thumbup:

That's disgusting, you need to go out to Howe Sound that way the current keeps the water fresh. Plus, one can pick some pop at Ambleside on the way, one just has to keep an eye on the tide as at low tide I can't get near the dock. :(

Thunder for the past 20 minutes and the fire siren just went off, fire truck siren still audible. When it's this dry every bolt of lightning seems to start a fire. Now more sirens...

64 temp records broken in BC over the weekend.

Heat wave in B.C. breaks 64 temperature records - British Columbia - CBC News

I am kind of surprised we are only at stage 1 water restrictions still, although it's going to stage 2 on July 6th but it always does in July.

As long as it doesn't get to stage 4, I don't want my pumpkins to die....

June one was of the driest for the region as well, the stats are for YVR but the region as a whole was pretty dry, 11mm of rain vs an average of 53mm for a normal June.

We've run out of biscuits and no one is volunteering to go out and get some as its too hot out there. :thumbdown:

Crumbs!

Re: How's the heat?
 

I returned from the store with biscuits around the time the above was posted. Where there's a will, there's a way. Did a few little chores to take care of my conscience and now Dr. Bombay is making a house call. Soccer and cold beer in 2 hours, that's what I'll do about the heat.

Yep, naff it, if you people are having a nice bank holiday parading about with maple leaf flags in your hair I’m taking the rest of the afternoon off to drink beer and watch the match.

I know, I had the T20 cricket at the Oval on in the background this morning and all Nasser and Atherton did was moan about the heat. :rofl:
