July 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

[Forrest Gump]

I'd like to see at least one short lived heat wave. Pretty boring summer so far, but it's nice to be smoke free.

I'm glad you said short lived although the heat doesn't really bother me but usually there's a few whiners around. August is probably the worst month for forest fires but I definitely hope the trend continues for later in August as I'm going to Nakusp and Nelson for a few days of relaxation in 3 different hot springs and then visit my sister on the way back who bought a summer home in Sicamous.

It's definitely been more regular than we're accustomed to in July. We typically get most of our July precip in two or three events.

The amounts themselves haven't been anything spectacular, though. Most stations are just near or slightly above average for the month.

Being regular is definitely better than being constipated and then having a couple of explosions.

I'm certainly not seeing any precipitation out my way unless it's happening overnight but by morning I don't see any evidence of it , maybe the white rock rain gauge tells a different story. Speaking of rain gauges wasn't sardineman supposed to reveal his new fandangled fancy pancy whatchamacallit thingamabob a few days ago? Maybe some technical difficulties.

I can certainly believe those rain totals in North Van as reported by antler man , apparently a couple of weeks ago they opened up the dam for a short while just enough time to give the salmon at the mouth of the Capilano to dart up the river towards the hatchery , thus the beach fishing at ambleside was poor when I went yesterday , not many fish showing/surfacing .

Congrats Stuffradio and Mrs. Stuffradio! That's great news! I guess we shouldn't cheer for a blizzard around her due date? Haha

I am one of those whiners. I have no idea why but I swear my entire being stops functioning above like 25C. I dont want to do anything or even think. I sweat like a pig just walking out the door it doesn't really make sense. Most people are heat lovers. I get it for recreation, but for those of us who work, I cant figure out the value of a 30+C day. I grew up In kelowna too.

SWS up for the Sunshine Coast,

'Early August Heavy Rainfall for Vancouver Island and the South Coast of British Columbia.'

I wonder if it will actually deliver.

Tofino might get 100mm

I'm worried about my tomatoes blowing over if it gets too windy on Friday. What direction will the wind be coming from?

Extremely rare for this time of year. This is typically the heart of the dry season.

Sunshine coast and Island look to be ground zero. Heavy rain Friday morning.
