damn, that was hot! Good thing it didn't last too long
humidity is what gets me, I'm not a fan of much over 80* but I avoid humidity..... and given the rain storms just before this, humidity was in abundance.
Today it's currently 37 Deg C (98.6 F), forecast for tomorrow is also 37 C. Got a text yesterday from a friend in BC's Okanogan region, it was 44 Deg C (111.2 F), while up in Morthern Alberta where I grew up (Grande Prairie), it was 41 Deg C (105.8 F), which is about 20 Deg C higher than what would be considered the avg temp.....it's been a long week, and it's not over yet !!

I heard the plains in Canada are getting it much, much worse. Prayers for them.
Definitely not typical, and well above the seasonal averages, hopefully it doesn't drag on too long!! I woke up on the couch @ 2:00 AM last night SOAKED, went and pounded back a couple glasses of water, and sat down at my desktop PC, it was still 26 Deg C (78.8 F), which would be above what would be a normal daytime high around here. And when I got up @ 6:30, it was still 23 Deg C (73.4 F).
Seems like a day here or there is tolerable, but when you string a good number of consecutive days together, the buildings get heat-soaked, andalong with the overnight highs, the interior temps get way out of hand. it's shortly after 6:00 PM here, and the temp inside my house ATM is 32.8 Deg C (91 F)
Although the BC Okanagan is a much warmer climate than where I'm at, I still feel for them, with temps into the 40's (40 Deg C = 104 F)
