Is everyone enjoying the heat wave in B.C.?

[#juan]

Nanaimo is 28 degrees right now and we are headed for 33 or 34 depending who you read. I love the warm
weather myself but some people are complaining. I hope this weather lasts till January. Our front lawn is looking
a bit parched right now but with the rain we are bound to get come September will green up the lawns pretty quickly.

Only one of the reasons i live on the Island, aside from being from here, is the usual lack of extremes. Unfortunately we will have to turn on the AC as my wife's MS responds badly to heat and she remains housebound during heat waves.
I am most comfortable at about 10ish C with only a flannel shirt and go in the tank at anything over + 20.

37 with the humidity here yesterday. Which is better than the 43 we hit in July.

It's supposed to top 34 here today.......gorgeous summer day...........too bad I can't take my TV outside to watch the Olympics. Strong clouds gathered late last night with a bit of thunder and lightning but no rain. Ah.........summertime and the livin' is easy. :smile:

At 1213 hrs, it's 32C in the shade, 103 kP, and pretty dry. 20.5C in the house.
Above about 25C and we get uncomfortable unless we're at the lake or something.

I walked 15k in the late morning. Pretty hot but felt great.

yeah right, you would be just a puddle on the sidewalk, but seriously those who jog out in the
heat should have their heads examined, very risky, but I see it all the time.

just came from the ocean, took puppy in for a swim, little breeze, and as beautiful as one can
imagine, husband took grandson out fishing, watched them leave, hung around the beach for
awhile, now home and staying cool, will watch a bit of the olympics.

we sleep downstairs these days, difference in temperature is amazing, need quilts or we will
be chilly, glad we have the option, because the upstairs bedrooms are far too hot at night,
can't sleep there at all.

the stores feel great with their AC on, but the ocean can cool one down very quickly, I love
the salt water, just the right temperature, not too cold like the lake and rivers,
comox lake is so cold, only swam there once, never again.

It's 38 on my deck at 1655 pm.

I wore a hat. I feel like crap now but it wasn't so bad at the time.

Let's see you park your bare butt (or even lean your elbows on) on the hood of my truck.
It's 36 in the shade here now, about 2.5 hours since I posted the temp last time.

Say I owned a black Honda for a spell.. and at times it would get to 110F in the shade..

You could cook an egg on the hood in less that 5 minutes..

But I love the heat.. the hotter the better..

Actually, where I have land in Big Spring, Texas they built a water recycling plant to recycle urine as it's so hot lakes dry up and disapear..

Yeah. Been there. I remember times like that in the Okanagan. Been to AZ, NM, Mexico, and almost every country between Mexico and Colombia.

Egg isn't good for paint. But yep.

Better you than me.

Ah. Here, mother nature does all that filtering. hehehehe

Hottest temp here last year was 42.5C (108.5F).

Funny thing, I got called out to work in early July, all the way to Nanaimo, never been there before. Sure, been all up and down the West coast hundreds of times, but never been to, let alone overnighted in Nanaimo, the weather was great, as a matter of fact, everyone said it was the first nice weather they had seen since, I dunno, September, they thanked me for bringing it from the East coast. It's been hotter than stink out Halifax way, not so much the heat, you know. It fogs in overnight, but the sun comes up and burns it off, with a temperature of 30 and a dew point of 29 :lol:. Frig, you need your sweat to evaporate to keep cool, but the air is already saturated so all you do is stay hot and wet. I'm used to heat, Saskatchewan heat, 40 degrees heat, but at least the howling winds kinda cool you down, and the blowing dust dries you off. I'm not complaining mind you, I'll take this over the lack lustre summers we've seen here for the past 8 years, plus I'm on vacation, woo hoo.

I heard from someone else who is in Vancouver and she was complaining her apartment was like an armpit.
Guess you guys don't get enough of this weather on the left coast to bother having A/C?
It's been like that here in S. Ont. since late June. Nice today, 24C sunny.

Most people here have NFC how to live in a heat wave-they leave the blinds open so the sun heats up their place and then put a fan blowing in hot air in instead of setting up a cross breeze.

There's no need for A/C here at all usually and this warmth will only last another week or so-the ocean sees to that.

 

[B00Mer]

Just take a Hot shower...when you get out.. it will feel cool.. lol

It dropped to 20C the other day. I had to put on a sweater.

Vancouver is much like an armpit anyway.

I always called it "the only hole above the ground" but if an armit pit is really a pit then I suppose it can still be consider a hole above the ground.
