Strange weather

[nirvana]

Has anyone noticed strange weather patterns where they lived.  Front range of Colorado seems to be having a very wet week, precip probably once every day.  Was like this a few weeks ago.  This is one of the wettest times I remember.

You get that thunderstorm tonight nirvana?  We got hammered over here on the west side of town (Colorado Springs)... the local weather said .25 of an inch, my rain guage showed 1 and a half.  Not to mention golfball sized hail....

Yikes....

Toronto has declared an extreme heat emergency, as parts of Ontario and Quebec swelter through unseasonably hot temperatures.

The city's temperature on Saturday climbed to about 31 C – which felt like 41 because of the humidity. It was about 10 degrees hotter than normal.
 
People sought shade and drinking water in Toronto on Saturday, as the temperature climbed to about 31 C – which felt like 41 because of the humidity.  
Ottawa sizzled under the same conditions, while Montreal reached a high of 33.

Environment Canada warned people to get used to it, because the heat wave seems likely to continue.

"It's the intensity of the heat and the duration," said David Phillips, a spokesman for Environment Canada.

"Clearly, we've had more summer this week than we had all of last year in Eastern Canada."

Yep we're getting the same weather Thrawn. The past 3 or 4 days have been 40 C + due to humidity, that's over 100 F for those south of the border

As I type this it's already 33 C...at 9 in the morning

[john9001]

it's global warming caused by the boosh/cheny/haliburton oil cartel.

no food for oil

no food for oil

shouldn't that be no air conditioners for oil?

Last freakin night, AC dead, 96 deg.F (w/humidex)at 3 AM.  

It just ain't right to have a heat wave in Canada 6 days after May ends. Tomorrow will be around 115 deg/F (with humidex), oh but fear not, there's no such thing as global warming.

Can't wait for August.

So people from Colorado and Canada have something in common?

Yeah Bodhi, I got a couple storms.  Actually it was more like one long stream of precipitation from about 6 until I went to bet at 4.  Only hail we've had up her by Denver  is pebble sized.  Seems like when it rains it poors though.

I was flying quite a bit in this hot humid weather past couple of days.

Very strange is all I can say. You see thunder cells forming and you get  big dumps of rain but a kilometer away there is no rainfall at all.

This morning I got up and took off in the ultralight in a light rain (spitting). I flew down the coast and back and although I was getting hit with drops of water I was not getting wet. They dried as quickly as they accumulated.

Too bad it was so hazy or I would have climbed up to 10 or 12k to cool off. As it was I kept below 1k and tried to make sure I stayed away from any clouds that looked like they had verticle development.

Last 2 years in Southern Ontario at this time of year we had had almost no warm weather at all.

Maybe it's happening like in"The day after tomorrow" That film was realistic, only those events would not happen in a week but over 20 years or so. We could be seeing the start of it.

Guess I should go get a heavy jacket then.
