Very hot, 30+ degrees, but there's still a breeze and not muggy so it's doable.

Very hot. 90+ degrees. Daily highs. Expected to continue through the next week, with temps peaking on Saturday with predicted 104+ degree highs.

Unseasonably cold here - 14°! I can't say unseasonably rainy because it's Britain after all.
Meanwhile it's 30° and more in Finland.

Restate...with temperatures expected to peak on Sunday and Monday with highs around 108 F. (I had to look, it's like 42 C.)
And this is NOT the arid desert of the American Southwest (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico).

Wow...I thought it was going to be insufferable today, but the humidity dropped appreciably and it turned out to be quite decent.

Okay...Today it is insufferable. It hit 100 degrees F at 14:00 and has continued upwards. It presently stands at 102, and sunny.
The expected high for today is still 107 degrees F (42 C). Tomorrow's projected high temperature: 112 degrees F (44 C) and then 110 F on Monday.

It peaked at 106 F at about 16:30.
It is sundown and now below 100 F, barely.
Tomorrow is predicted to reach 112 F. If so, it will break all standing records (three days of 107 F over two widely separated summers).

It seems the official high temperature for yesterday was 109 F.
The official high temperature for today was 112 F.
We are evidently set for another 109 F day tomorrow before it cools back in to the nineties for highs all next week.
Ugh.

It's 28 C here and super humid. We're hoping for a nice thunderstorm later to cool things down a bit.

Not well. Pacific Norwesters get pretty cranky pretty quick. Even around sprinklers and frigid waterholes.
We tend to evolve into a swirling mass of heatrage assholes.
Best is having private A/C that can handle this extreme. Those are rare in a region where A/C was deemed 'unnecessary' in my lifetime. I have a 'heat pump' that allows me to lop twenty degrees off the top of high temperatures, but that's about it. Back in the day, this kind of weather was reason enough to schedule a trip to the supermarket, where one could dawdle over the meat, milk, and egg cases or do a thorough exploration of the ice cream brands and flavors. Or, frozen foods. Then, there was the fan with a spray bottle set to 'mist'. Or, running through the sprinkler.
Lots and lots of iced tea. **tinkle, tinkle**
Curiously, I remember Cambridgeshire and the hellhole that was the Red Lion Inn. I had a fan and a shower. I didn't sleep well, but I survived.

Today was worse. It was hotter yet.
Rumors are that there is a cooling zephyr which will push the heat dome off the valley this evening. I know many who are fervently hoping such is true.

I read a thing somewhere that your temps will drop "into the 90s" by Wednesday. Only the second circle of hell.

This past year, I added a 'rollabout' A/C unit upstairs. When I added that in to the mix of the heat pump, cooling early and closing up, it kept the interior temps down to 81 indoors. That's the best I managed in 116 degree heat (47 C).

Yep. Thems the facts. What it is not saying is that the area under the heat dome is prolly the largest contiguous temperate forest in North America. Also not stated is that this is just the beginning of the 'dry season'. Those conditions are capable of returning any time between now and mid-October. I'm beginning to feel as though in sitting in a tinderbox that is getting more flammable by the day.

Yeah, I saw Portland on the news yesterday. I thought of you. Kye, are you somewhat out of it? The map showed that the superheat wasn't where you are, but I'd imagine such a dome next door will make it hotter in your area too.

I'm a continent away from that dome, but summer in Montreal can be pretty steamy at the best of times.

True I suppose. If you look at the map it seems close enough until you lay that map next to the one of Europe.
Weather here is wet and dreary. Still not cold though.

Rain! We had overnight rain. It was a 'dry rain', which can be discerned in that it is still dry under the eaves and the trees.

Our side passageway flooded yesterday for the first time since we moved into the house 35 years ago. We're thinking of building an ark

We've returned to typical seasonal weather for here. High overcast in the mornings, burning off by noon to mostly blue skies and warm temperatures.

Residents of the former township of Lytton might be triggered by that word! Yeah. Dissipating. Wow...Last weekend, they experienced the highest recorded temperature in all of Canada and now the town is burned to the ground by a raging wildfire. Who would have guessed that such might come to pass? Well....most everybody around here. We're not particularly surprised....
