We registered 29 degrees this afternoon which is not any kind of a record, it is warm for the first week in May. Is global
warming responsible? Whatever brought it, I love it. Nanaimoites can expect more of the same for the next week anyway.
Thoughts?

29 degrees works out to well over eighty degrees F........warmer inside the house....but I'm not complaining.

I'd go along with polar warming, global warming is pretty much a myth, winters may be a little warmer than they were years ago but summers are nowhere near the scorchers we had when I was a kid.

yeah I would be....lol

A few years ago my wife bought us a trip to Cancoon for my birthday which is in the middle
of March. Cancoon is about five hours from Vancouver and when we arrived it was over a
hundred degrees. I thought I was going to die but within about a day and a half we were
used to it.

Btw the normal temperatures for this time are highs of 17F and lows of 8F

We are having a small heat wave. Right now the weather man is saying it is 24 degrees in Nanaimo and my thermometer agrees with him. We are at April 30th today but the forecast is calling for the same weather tomorrow so hopefully, we can be with the topic header :lol:..

I'd suggest you might try moving south first, you can always do the other later. -:)

It's quite possible, #Juan. May can be like that. In '82 when we lived in Courtenay we had a real scorcher late in May like close to 35C, same thing again in Grand Forks on May 24 '95, so we are probably over due.
