42ºC. Holy crap.
Disclaimer—I didn’t take that picture (I was in my air-con cubicle sipping a cold can of soda), Feng snapped it this afternoon.
A few weeks ago, I explained that summers in Canada were typically hot and humid and that it was often above 30ºC. Well, it’s rare when it’s above 40ºC but it does happen. A heat warning was issued on Tuesday and yesterday, it actually felt like 47ºC with the humidex.
This translates as an oppressive wave of heat. It was actually hard to breathe outside and it’s over 28ºC at home, even with the air-con on. We have a severe thunderstorm watch in effect—it should be interesting. Weather is never boring in Canada!

Wow, that was hot. Here in Buffalo I think we only got up to 36. It was still quite hot, that I took shelter in my university office.
You cannot imagine what it was to open my place yesterday! It took the AC the whole day to make the place reach a decent temperature!
And look at the guy in the lower left corner of your pic! He’s melting in horror!!
Good eye! 😆 But I’m afraid it’s just one of my dresses….
Really hot.
As for our country, it also exceeded 35ºC.
However, we can’t use air conditioner a lot because it may become a shortage of energy.
We try not to use air-con too much either, electricity can be expensive.
That is hot!
18° at the moment here. Not sure we will get a summer this year 🙁
Yuck. I like when it’s above 25C, 18C is too cold for summer!
You know, I biked home from work and I thought I smelled barbecue. It might have been my skin…. 🙁
😆 For a vegetarian to smell BBQ!
OMG!! It was sooooo hot today!!!
Crazy! Are you back in Canada already?
49 with humidity in Toronto on Thursday!
This is better than -20C, no?
Definitely! I take hot over cold anytime.
Lol it’s like living in the desert! I am actually enjoying the bad weather we’re having!
