Air quality is off the charts in Whistled at 33 the scale normally goes to 10. It's quite bad right now up there and around Squamish as well.

30 degrees in Calgary again today. Getting bored now. 
In the meantime, someone stole the Rockies. They are no longer visible. Second hand smoke from somewhere.... everywhere.

The smoke has been keeping it cooler, not sure we have even been reaching 30 like forecast, but the smoke is less then fun to breathe and the mountains are hiding at the moment.

Hit 32c in Medicine Hat today, whilst I was trying to sleep in a huge hotel room with the smallest, noisiest AC unit i've ever seen
its 2am and its still 20c, trying to work and sweating my bag off at this time is no good

Not so bad being in the 30's compared to what it's like in Iraq and other middle east countries seeing high 40's to low 50's with high humidity.
