So, our cooling trend has been basically morning overcast that disappears about noon, giving way to clear skies.
This morning, we started with partly sunny skies. The doors are standing open. It it presently cooler outdoors than in. This will not last, but it will not be oppressive heat, either. More of a typical summer day in these parts.

It's been cooler, but not particularly wetter weather for some time. Drought prevails east of the Cascades. The heat dome just primed the forests. Wildfire season is here. Early, this year. Surprise.... The biggest, so far, is the Bootleg Fire. It even has its own Facebook page: www.facebook.com/BootlegFireInfo/In relations to where I'm at, this is in the southern part of the state on the east of the Cascade Mountains, in Klamath and Lake counties. Distant from me.

We have a warm weekend (30°C, 86 in Mayflower units) but it's practically nothing compared to Finland recently or northwest North America. And no flooding forecast.

We are still waiting to hear from Elis, are we not? Hope their little town has not been affected by flooding.

And Mari, I think! Aren't parts of the Netherlands affected also?

Elis tells me that, although they have had lots of rain, Bremen is not unduly affected.

We're fine. I live in the middle of the country and the floods affected the south. Thankfully we mostly had material damage here and no villages half disappearing etc. Germany and Belgium were BAD...

Glad you're alright, Mari.
The weather here is a little cooler, at 24°C with a slight breeze. A lot more pleasant than the last three days.

Same here - at one point I had to close the window because the breeze was just a bit too cooling

Bright and almost sunny this lunchtime, so much so I ventured out in my shorts and T shirt. Coming back, I had to shelter in the Ring O' Bells because it was raining. In fact I was stuck there in the pub for nearly two hours because it was raining so hard. Such is life

Oh, poor, poor tangent...Stuck in the pub for two hours! What ever did you manage to do?

Oh, don't worry, I can cope with a bit of adversity most of the time

It's been a bit on the cool side here for the last week or so --mostly in the low 20's. It's quite pleasant, but I miss the heat. I'll be leaving for Rimouski in a week or so, as soon as my daughter gives birth, and it's almost always even cooler there. Sigh. By the time I get back it will be almost September and I'm not nearly done with the summer yet!

Cooler here thank God. We had days and days of way too hot

We're in the midst of another 'heat wave'. Today's temperature is forecast at topping out at 99 F.
That's fairly typical for this time of year. The thing is, the weather since the last heat wave, the heat dome which scorched us all in late June, has been dry. This heat wave will just dry what remains even faster. We need rain. Lots of rain. None of that is in the forecasts....even two weeks out, when temperature settle back down in to the lower eighties for daily highs.

So, you're expecting wild fires?

Post by whollygoats on Jul 31, 2021 13:25:15 GMT
We're in the midst of the season and the Bootleg fire is still burning in the southern part of the state. If we continue with hot, dry weather, yes...we will experience more wildfires.

There are rumors of rain.
I'll believe it when I see it.
ETA: Yep, that was fake news...
EATA: Finally, mid-morning we got a dry rain. It was enough to wet the pavement, so long as there were no overhead obstructions, as they left dry 'shadows'.

Heat wave next four days, maybe more.

Yesterday was our second 100+ degree (F) day in a row. Today promises to be another, especially considering that it was 72 F at sunrise.

It's pretty hot in Rimouski (32 C), and of course, no one has AC.

Who's coping best, baby, mum or grandma?
Or, who's suffering the most?

Post by Kye on Aug 13, 2021 22:04:11 GMT
Grandma loves the hot and humid weather; Nathaniel is coping; and mama is going (even more) insane.

You should be packing away as many warm memories as possible to get you through the winter.

Buy a cooling pad for dogs. It's great for sleeping on in hot weather. I used them for both girls too when it hit 35 degrees here back then. It works on body heat, so it won't get too cold, but still takes the edge of so you can sleep.
